A7N8X-D Rev. 2 - Maxtor 200 GB SATA Won't Boot

Greetings

In an attempt to affordably increase my storage capacity, I purchased
a Maxtor 200 GB Diamond Plus SATA Drive.

The SATA drive is to replace a Seagate 73 GB Ultra SCSI, with the
Seeagate becoming available for a scratch disk and secondary storage.

I copied the SCSI to the SATA usingi Drive Image 7, which said the
drive copied successfully.

The SATA is recognized by the BIOS, but when the SCSI is removed from
the system, it will not boot. (I changed the Boot Sequence in the
BIOS)

Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

Any other information you need?

Looking forward to any responses.

Did you install the SATA driver via Device Manager before cloning the
Seagate drive?

The BIOS still has to be set for SCSI boot up, as SATA is seen as SCSI.
There may be a conflict between the 2.
