Boot Priority Ignored on Start-up

Recommended Posts

I just tried to install the latest Ubuntu release on my PC...

 

I have two SATA drives forming a striped RAID array which is what Windows boots from... those use the onboard SATA connectors on the motherboard.

 

I also have an IDE drive for documents and my DVD burner; those are connected to the onboard IDE channels.

 

Despite the DVD drive having the highest priority in the boot priority list, it is being completely ignored on startup.

 

Is this invasion and occupation of my boot priority list territories normal RAID behaviour?

we had a similar problem here with my wifes PC, it had 98 on one drive and XP on another and a CD.

the Pips setting on the back of HDDs (Slave/Master) tried every combo, then I thought how about remove them entirely...

 

It worked :)
