I get error message early on in boot process for puppy, shortly after hard drives identified:
ERROR, cannot find puppy on 'idecd' boot media.
Should Puppy work ok with Sata DVD media?
How can I puppy from live CD using Sata DVD drives?
Could my initial download to ide dvd drive done something in the Puppy program to lead to this error and my inability to boot up Puppy from my new sata dvd drives?
Thanks,
Mike

I'd say - go into the bios setup, find the boot sequence options, see if the sata drive is listed and if so - make it your first boot device.
Depends on the setup - some times boot devices are not listed with specificity - then do your best.
-------------
also consider the medium, read / write discs to boot sometimes don't boot as well as write once discs, because they don't have as good reflective qualities as their counterpart.

It is not that it does not start to boot, but rather...
Does Puppy support Sata DVD drives or not?
usbcd
Your config file must be using pmedia=idecd, which should be pmedia=usbcd if SATA is being treated as USB drive (as Flash said).
Changing that in the ISO should be easy with Puppy's ISO editor.

As should be apparent by now, the answer is yes, but.thegoldenstrand wrote:Does Puppy support Sata DVD drives or not?
Puppy has the tools, but you may have to do some tinkering to get it to work on your computer.
