I have a pentium III running a 6gig scsi drive off of a scsi PCI card. The
2000 pro install CD formats and installs onto the drive with no problem.
Upon reboot, however, the freshly formatted disk with 2000 just installed
does not get recognized. The bios is set to look for a bootable SCSI first.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
(1) If you only have 1 hd, it needs to be device zero on
your scsi chain in order to be able to boot from scsi.
(2) If you installed win2K through windows (eg win98) onto
another partition you cannot boot from your win2K
partition. You must boot from C (set bios) and you get to
choose which OS to run.

If the above does not help, you need to provide more info
about your setup
