I've finally got my PC dual booting with Vista and so begins my first trip into the world of Vista! Initially it's quite disorientating after using XP for so long. One problem I have is that my HD's are showing as SCSI disk devices together with SCSI ID's!! Anyone got any ideas on this one?
Drives showing as SCSI

Hi Mark,
Are you, by any chance, using RAID on your system? Depending on the system, when you have hard drives in a RAID configuration they can show as being SCSI devices. As long as your system is working correctly, there is nothing to worry about.

Hi Dwarf, thanks for the response. There is a RAID option on my MOBO but it is not enabled. I do have 2 x sata HD's - 1st has XP and a spare partition on it. The 2nd disk has Vista 64 Home Prem. There doesn't seem to be a problem when I boot to either OS, just seems a bit odd to see SCSI assignments!

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Some chipset/driver combinations refer to storage devices as SCSI devices as opposed to the terminology that you are used to.
