i did try and google for easy solution. One person said setup a flashdrive to boot off then boot from the card if its not in the bios. Older pc trying to do this for friend. any advice would be nice THANKS!

some BIOS require setting INT19 so that the machine will boot from those cards.
I had to turn that on when I was running a Promise Sata card as well as when I ran my old Adaptec SCSI cards.

cool a reply. I dont really understand that as i dont see that as a option in the bios. kinda hoping for a work around like booting from usb and then having it tell to boot off the card. or a card that supports the booting of OS. I guess most can do it if i buy floppy drive and install it that way from first install? i guess ill research instead of being lazy and hoping someone will give me the answer.
