Booting from the 2000 CDROM, the scsi drive is listed as available for
formatting and installing. The format and install takes place normally, but
upon reboot a message appears saying, no system disk found. The BIOS is set
to boot from SCSI first.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Which SCSI controller are we talking about here? Are you certain that
Windows 2000 has native drivers for your controller? Have your tried hitting
F6 during setup and loading drivers for your SCSI card?

Does the SCSI card itself support booting and, if so, does it support
booting from the device ID you are using? Some only boot from device
ID 0 or need configuring to boot from other devices.

It's also possible to turn the BIOS off on some SCSI cards - you'll
need it on if you wish to boot from it.
