Most BIOSes have a drive setup menu.  Go to the C drive setup (I'm serious)
and see if one of the drive types is "SCSI" - that will tell the MB to enable
the NCR bios support code.  Different BIOSes have different ways of enabling
this, and all but a few *do* require that you do so explicitly.  Check
your motherboard's configuration manual as well.
