Server not booting from SCSI

Hi
We have an NT server 4 with 2 SCSI HD and 1 IDE cd rom drive.
When I put an 6G IDE HD in the other IDE interface, I can't boot from the SCSI HD, it boot from the IDE HD instead when it's set to Master.
I have tried to change the jumper to CS and slave but it won't recongnise the IDE HD.
How to install an IDE drive and boot from the orignal SCSI drive?

There is two ways to do this depending on your mainboard.
If your bios supports it set the boot order to scsi first.
If not then you can make the ide disk not bootable. Use fdisk to remove the Active setting for the primary partition or make the entire disk an extended partition. You may need to put it in another machine to do this or use Partition Magic from a boot diskette.
