You weren't clear if the SCSI drive was just something you 
copied from or if it is in the system now. With two IDE 
drives the answer is to change one from master to slave. But
it looks like you have one SCSI and one IDE. In this case
you should know that the SCSI controller usually has a BIOS
of its own and will often get a chance to boot before the
IDE. So get into the SCSI BIOS (does it say press control-A?)
and see if there's an option to not boot that drive. If the 
SCSI's built-in it may be an option in the computer's BIOS.

In the computer's BIOS under "advanced features" you should also
find a "boot order" option in which SCSI is mentioned (along with
CDROM and floppy...) You computer acts as though it is trying
to boot the wrong drive (look at the lights?)
