I had a somewhat similar problem when trying to use the factory OS restore CDs that came with a computer that had an IDE hard disk. The restore CDs did not work when the IDE drive was replaced with a SCSI drive and controller, or even when the SCSI controller was present without any SCSI disks. I got around the problem by removing the SCSI drive and controller and then using the factory restore CDs to get a bootable image on to the IDE drive. I then installed the SCSI controller (but no SCSI disks) and booted up and installed the SCSI controller driver. I was then able to Ghost the IDE drive, remove the IDE drive, install the SCSI drive, and Ghost image to the SCSI disk. The system was then able to boot from the SCSI drive using the image originally created on the IDE drive.
