I have an 8 Core Mac Pro running 10.5.6. I have four internal drives and I want to use one of those for windows vista business 64bit. I also have a esata card as well as an atto ul5d scsi card, but the drive I am trying to install windows on is one of the internal drives that is connected to the internal sata on the motherboard. I followed the bootcamp instructions, created one windows partition one of my empty drives, follow boot camp instructions and put in the windows vista business 64bit disc, then clicked "start installation". After the computer reboots, some type comes up says it's scanning the atto ul5d and can't find the bios driver, then the screen goes black for a few moments, then "not bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key". But I have the windows vista business 64bit disc in the dvd drive and pressing any of the keys does nothing, almost like it doesn't recognize the keyboard? I also tried to do a boot camp partition on one of the drives that has my apple OS, and till same result. One last thing, the dvd drive that is in my computer is not the stock dvd drive, it is a sata dvd drive, but again it is connected to the internal sata and not one of the cards. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
Update: Well I just took out my esata and scsi card and still no luck. I am starting to think that my problem may be with the dvd drive, because the dvd drives that came with these computers was not sata. So it would make sense that boocamp would not have the drivers for the dvd drive correct? So it can't see the install disc. Any ideas?
