Boot ini

Firstly I am a user not an expert but now find myself in the position of needing to know more. I have 2 serial ata drives in a stripe set and a couple of standard ata drives. I eventualy managed to get my operating system on to the ata drive, no easy task for me! I try and connect my IDE drive to use as a backup but thats the one it always boots from. There is an option in my bios which asks "boot from raid\ide" but this makes no difference. I suspect I need to alter my boot ini, could someone help me with this please

Wayne

If it dont fit...force it. If ya cant force it...get a bigger hammer. If it breaks...it probably needed replacing anyway.
