This has been bugging me for a while, and I finally found it on a TechNet
CD...
My drives were always getting messed up when I used my Adaptec SCSI card,
because NT was making it SCSI bus 0 and bumping the piixide SCSI drivers to
1 and 2. But you can control the load order of the SCSI devices by
adjusting the "TAG" value of
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<scsi-miniport>\ key (where
<scsi-miniport> are, in my case at least, "sparrow" for the Adaptec card and
"piixide2" for the Thinkpad IDE drivers). I just made the "sparrow" tag =
to the "piixide2" tag + 1, and now it treats the Adaptec card as an
additional, not primary, controller when it's plugged in (and my external
CD-R drive doesn't bump my internal CD drive out of its assigned letter
<g>).
HTH someone out with this...
