Your procedure may not be quite enough.
There is a device driver for SCSI controllers in the root directory
of your system partition (C:\). It is called NTBOOTDD.SYS. If
you change your controller to one that uses a different driver you must
also copy the driver to C:\ and rename it to the name above.
Otherwise, you will get an inaccessable boot device blue screen.
Be certain that the geometry mapping done by your new controller
is the same as your old one, too.
