Did you install the SCSI drivers during the installation process so it sees
the SCSI drives as bootable?

Hi there.
I'm deploying RIS to a server with two SCSI drives and one IDE. I want to
install the OS on the SCSI drive, but when I choose it I get the following
error message:

"To install Windows on the partition you selected Setup must write some
startup files to the following disk:" It then points to the IDE drive.

How can I get past this?
It's an odd problem because if I unplug the IDE drive then RIS installs on
the SCSI device without any problems.
