Didn't I tell you to go and check the SCSI detection/reset/error-retry/etc. delay settings, from within the CSPPC early boot menu (hold ESC on boot to access it)?

You can make your SCSI chain wait for your slow spinning drive. It would help to jumper the drive as well to auto-spin.

Yup you did, and it didn't help my boot problem.

Yes, it was unrelated to your boot partition problem in the end, but I explained to you what those settings can do.

Anyway, I think that SCSI inquiry delay should be the one to increase to something around 15+ seconds. I am at work now and can't remember how exactly it is called. Try it. If you screw something up, holding ESC at boot will always take you to the CSPPC menu and you can return the settings to old.
