I just installed (frugal) Precise Puppy 5.6.1 on about a 4 year old desktop computer. This computer has builtin IDE and SATA controllers.
When I did the install there was only one hard drive, an 80gb IDE drive, and everything worked just fine.
I bought two 1TB SATA drives and installed them (in removable drive bays). When I tried to boot, I got a message that puppy is unable to find the precise_5.6.1.sfs file and it drops to a command line.
If I disconnect the SATA drives everything works fine again.
The SATA drives are recognized in the bios, and the boot order places them after the IDE drive.
What can I do so that I have full use of all my drives?
Can't find precise_5.6.1.sfs
Likely boot from live cd both times (IDE | SATA}
