Is there a way to move an SCSI HDD with XP to the IDE postion without XP performing endless reboot loops?

What do you mean IDE position??Do you want to hook up a SCSI drive to IDE? Will need an adapter and an IDE cable?
Or are you talking about changing the BIOS Setup from SCSI to IDE? SCSI drives read data differently than an IDE drive, not sure exactly what your trying to do? |

Do you plan on booting from this drive as a SLAVE?
If you remove the RAID controller card, then physically set the drive to SLAVE and connect to the IDE connector. Boot and immediately get into BIOS Setup. Depending on the BIOS, find where the drives show up, then change the boot order, also change from SCSI to IDE save and exit, the computer should then boot from the SLAVE drive. Since the RAID Card is gone the BIOS should then see that and not load drivers for it. If you are going to boot from the SLAVE drive why make it slave and not master? Do you have another drive that you will be booting from. |

Should correct the registry and the BIOS after boot. Before doing it to be safe, back up your registry.

That was my thought too. I thought maybe what I should do is uninstall it (Device Manager) before I shut down, then make the change in positions and then reboot. Hoping that XP will then reinstall it under the IDE subkey. Do you think that will work? One good thing about keeping the 9x series OS's on my computer is I can make changes to XP that XP wouldn't allow and also I can make a complete backup with them too. XP doesn't backup everything.
