Can't boot from Buddha 2.5" IDE port
« on: September 13, 2008, 09:23:24 PM »
Hi all

Just messing about trying to get a JAE and laptop DVD ROM to work. The DVD ROM seems to knock out anything else on the same 3.5" channel. So I thought I would put a 2.5" laptop HD on the 2.5" channel and leave the DVD ROM by itself on the 3.5" channel.

But no HD I put on the 2.5" channel will boot. Just get the kickstart screen. The laptop hard drive doesn't show if hold down both mouse buttons and go into the boot options.

The laptop hard drive does however boot when it is by itself on the 3.5" channel with a 2.5" to 3.5" convertor.

If I boot to my CF drive (OS3.9 on the 3.5" channel) and the laptop hard drive on the 2.5" channel, it wont show up in HDtoolbox either.

Am I missing something?
