Hi,
I have a customer with a new ML150.
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/be/nl/sm/WF06b/1561-1565-353431-353431-12083249-12845002-78050167.html
4 SATA disks internally, 2 for the OS & 2 for the DATA.
They wanted a disk based backup solution next to their built-in DAT72 drive.
So I installed a Belkin PCI-Express SATA/eSATA device.

This way the backup is finished asap, since USB2 is only 480Mbps & eSATA is 3Gbps.
The problem is, when I reboot the server after patches are installed, the server won't boot Windows. The boot process stops when I see approximately the following:
Booting from CD-Rom
Booting from Hard Drive (c:)
and it just sits there, doing nothing.
If I disconnect the eSATA drive it boots fine.
In the BIOS (using F9) I set the boot controller order to first cd-rom, 2nd Built-in IDE, 3rd built-in HP Smart Array E200, and last the Belkin PCI-X controller on PCI-X slot 1.
I changed them all but it still won't boot if the eSATA drive is connected.
Does anyone here know how I can fix this besides using the drive's slower USB2 connection?
thanks
David
