Intel D850GB board Boot Problem
By Hart - usenet poster
I've installed an Adaptec SATA 2410sa controller. It presents itself as a
SCSI controller to the computer.
From the BIOS I see no way to boot from this controller... it can only boot
from the IDE drive.
After booting Windows XP see the new controller and it's drive correctly...
but I can't set the BIOS to boot from it... the disks are Maxtor 120GB SATA
connected on the SATA controller... the controller shows this as one drive
(the RAID is hardward by the controller).
Anyone with a solution?
System information:
Board model Genuine Intel(R) D850GB system board
OS version Windows* XP version 5.1 Service Pack 1 build 2600
OS memory 523,564 KB RAM
Physical memory 512 MB RAM
Memory speed PC800
Memory type Other, RAMBUS
Form factor RIMM
BIOS date 08/20/2001
BIOS size 512 KB
BIOS version P13 (GB85010A.15A.0046.P13.0108201551)
Let me know please.
Thanks!!

I'ts ok. P13 is fine. And is the latest one avail from Gateway (the Intel
aobve P13 won't load because of the signature string in the BIOS).
It's booting from the SATA 2400sa controller now... Ah!!! My partition mover
forgot to set the partion "Active" on the disk connected to the SATA
controller... Simply have to set the Boot Device in the bios to diskette
and nothing else, it then goes to the Sata Raid controller (showing as
SCSI).
Sorry...

I have the same board and I just did a upgrade to a 300GB drive which
came with a Maxtor/Promise controller card. I also recently formatted my
OS HD and had a problem installing XP, so I ended up pulling the card
and once I got XP and updates installed it took the card ok. Though I do
not have it as the bootable I have my secondary 300 and 120 HD running
off the controller card.

The D850GB may be one of those boards with limited boot options, or it simply
may not recognize an SATA controller as bootable. SATA is newer than the
D850GB. The BIOS in most Intel-made boards enables one to establish the boot
order, and, if I recall properly, detects an external controller (e.g. Promise
ATA or Adaptec SCSI) to place in the boot order. Other motherboard
manufacturers, e.g. Asus, may give more flexibility in the selection of boot
devices thru the BIOS.
If the BIOS does not find the external drives and place them in the boot order,
as a rule, IDE/ATA drives take precedence in boot order over SCSI drives. My
guess is that SATA is treated the same as SCSI.
The bottom line is that to boot from SATA you'll either need to remove the
IDE/ATA drives from the system or attach them also to a secondary controller.
