Jeremy, Have you installed a Win 95 driver for your SCSI controller card? If not, you need to either get it from the manufacturer's BBS/websit/FTP site or you can check out Microsoft's driver library. Then, go to Control Panel, Add New Hardware. Don't let it auto-detect new hardware; instead, manually choose SCSI controller as the new hardware, point it to the driver installation program location, and that should take care of it. After the controller is recognized, the drive should be also. Also, when you have IDE and SCSI drives in the same machine, the IDE is always the boot drive. Some cards lets you override this but it's not very common.
