<DIV>After thinking about this for another moment, I remembered in order to boot
off of those two drives, I had to set "SCSI device" as the first boot-up device
in my BIOS. Bear in mind, I am running mine in RAID0. I can't recall for
certain, but I have a slight inkling that my motherboard can't boot off of those
IDE channels <EM>unless </EM>they're in a RAID configuration...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps,</DIV>
