I am having troubles installing a quantum atlas 4gig scsi drive.

I have successfully copied files from my 1.2gig eide conner to my
quantum 4gig atlas, now i want to remove my eide and boot off my 
quantum.

when i remove cable to eide drive and eliminate from my CMOS setup
and try to boot from scsi drive i get disk I/O error.

i tried booting from startup disk and run fdisk i get a can't find
fixed disk error. when i put eide drive back in fdisk runs fine.

i'm  trying to set my scsi drive as the active partition, but since i can't
run fdisk without eide drive installed and fdisk only lets eide drive be 
active partition, i'm in a catch-22

i'm using regular dos fdisk and format, since adaptec low level format 
utility fails

any help is appreciated
andrew
