KT600 Dragon Plus SATA Boot Priority Setting in Bios?

[Guest]

How do I set the boot priority on the KT600 Dragon Plus so that my SATA
drive is the primary boot drive and not one of the IDE drives? Its got BIOS
v 2BA1 which is latest shown on the SOYO websites... Whenever I hook the
SATA drive and the IDE drive up at the same time, it always wants to boot
from the IDE drive no matter what settings I have in BIOS. If I unhook the
IDE drive then it will boot from the SATA drive.

Theres a BIOS setting called 'Boot Other Device' and its set to enable, it
seems like this setting should allow the SATA drive to take priority but it
doesn't seem to do anything.

There's also settings to allow IDE Boot Priority (CDROM, HDD-0, Floppy, etc)
and setting all these to 'Disable' still won't force it to boot from the
SATA drive.

Anyone have an idea on how to boot from a SATA drive when there are also IDE
drives attached?

You have to set the first boot device to SCSI (or after floppy or whatever u
want to put before it). Then set the "SCSI Device" or "SCSI Boot Device"
(Something like that) to "SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SCSI" (If you only
have 2 SATA connections then it will only be "SATA1, SATA2, SCSI")

Thats how it works on the KT600 Dragon Ultra Platinum anyways.

Good Advice!

If you want your SATA drive to be the 'primary' boot device, set the 'First
IDE Boot Device' to --- ' SCSI ' --- in BIOS. That seems to force the mobo
to look at non-IDE drives connected and boot from them instead.

Now I've got both a bootable SATA drive and a bootable IDE drive connected,
with the SATA defaulting the to primary boot device. Nice.

Thanks for the cue!
