Disable your IDE disk controller when using the SCSI hard disk. Remove it
if you can. Do not mix IDE Hard Disks and SCSI Hard Disks in the one system.

When using your SCSI hard disk do the following,

1. set the SCSI ID of the first hard disk to 0
   the system will try to boot from SCSI device 0 on startup

2. ensure the SCSI chain is terminated correctly.

3. ensure that the "BIOS is enabled" on the SCSI card so that the system
   will try to boot from a SCSI device.

Looks as though the Hard Disk has SCSI id 4.


Hope this helps.
