Changing from a ide-boot hdd to a scsi boot hdd

Post by topmusic »

is it possible to change from a ide-boot hdd to a scsi boot hdd (win2k server is running from the ide-hdd) using norton ghost to transfer the partition ?
Do i need special scsi drivers to boot from the scsi hdd ?

If the SCSI drivers are already installed in Win2K you can change the boot drive. If not, you have to install the drivers first.

If you're currently running the drive in the system you want to change, then chances are that the drivers are already there (since you're using the SCIS drive).

The only time you would really need DOS drivers, would be when one would want to boot from the floppy drive. Are you thinking about booting SCSI from a DOS floppy to transfer your Ghost image?
