Cant boot from SCSI CDROM

I am trying to boot to a SCSI DVD ROM drive and the scsi controler sees the bootable disk but i can not boot to it.
I was able to boot to the SCSI DVD on my abit motherboard whats different now.
Any Sugestions.
No selecting Adaptec SCSI CDROM from the F11 Menu does not work.
UPDATE:   Removed SCSI ZIP from the chain and now it boots to the CD ....

If your BIOS doesn't support booting from SCSI (the option in Setup might be there, but the code for it might be missing) and there isn't any option ROM available to support it, it is a problem with your card. Try another controller with an option ROM to add support for SCSI boot.

    I do not know about Disk Warrior but if you have a compatible OSX on an external HDD you certainly can boot the MBP.  Use startup manager:

  • KT4V : no boot from SCSI

    I changed the Motherboard from KT3 Ultra to KT4V und now there is no boot from Scsi possible! The bootprozess ends with a message like 'press Shift Tab to view networkboot options'. I'm not able to enter the Bios if any of my hostadapters are installed. Without Scsi-hostadapter the system boots from Floppy as expected.
    Even if I disable the onboard NIC the well known network boot message will appear ! The Eide-Ports are also disabled !!
    Config:
    KT4V ( Bios V1.7 )
    2100+
    Enermax 465
    G.E.I.L. 512MB 433Cl2
    GF4Ti4600
    Creativ Audigy
    SYM 22910 ( Dualchannel LVD )
    SYM 22801 ( Dualchannel SE )
    any hints ?

    So happens I have another KT4V board bought earlier. I put the SCSI card in it and it worked. It has BIOS REV 1.3. So I put 1.3 on the other board that started with REV1.0A ended with 1.8 , and would not boot with SCSI card in. It worked perfectly with the 1.3 REV and does show the SCSI as a boot option. Problem solved. Next.
    Thanks for all the support suggestions MSI (';(')

    can any one help me out here, tomorrow I am going to boot it into target disk mode and install from a G5 onto the powerbooks HD doing a CLEAN install and then I am going to try booting it from a DVD and doing another CLEAN intstall just cause I dont trust a firewire install for some reason. I would like to avoid all this mess if possible. ANY HELP PLEASE, either respond or email me tend0 at mac dot com. thanks

    haha oh man thanks for startin slow with me, but we are passed that tested RAM, start up items, prefs, tried makin a new user account, as I stated before I can not boot from a DVD/CD.. that was one of the problems so I cant run anything that involves tageting the main HDD while its mounted. I have also repaired perms, ran fsck, tried booting up DiskWarrior(didnt boot from the CD), etc. if any one knows this perticular kernel panic string and can point out what the conflict is I can resolve it but other than that I have ran the run of the mill check to see if everything is in order procedure again and again.

  • How to boot from SCSI in Virtual Machine

    hi 
    i have VM's in Hyper V windows server 2012 data center edition.
    i want to boot from SCSI drive for performance enhancement. 
    but when i select scsi then it doesnt boot and says boot failure no boot device found.
    also tried with bios settings of VM but there is no option to select boot from SCSI.
    so can anyone help me how to make it happen???
    how to boot from SCSI drive in VM???
    thnx 
    istiaq

    Generation 1 virtual machines cannot boot from the virtual SCSI chain and 2012 does not support Generation 2 VMs. There is no meaningful performance difference between the virtual IDE and SCSI controllers anyway.

  • CDBOOT: Cant boot from CD - Code 5 (Windows 7)

    Hey gang,
    I been searching for the past 2 days for my answer but unable to find it. Maybe you guys can help me which is VERY VERY VERY important that I get Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro!
    I have a Windows 7 ISO which I obtain leggaly.  When I turn off my Mac and when it boots back up I keep getting:
    CDBOOT: Cant boot from CD - Code 5
    I have a "early" 2011 Macbook pro, I made 6 diffrent versions of the ISO (which none work), and Im stuck on what to do next.
    I have tried to mount then burn, creat new ISO then burn, and I even tried to change the buring speed to x2.  I even tried 3 diffrent types of media too...
    I been using the Disc Utility which came with my Mac which is ran by Lion 10.7.2
    Any ideas on what to do?

    This may be the answer. https://discussions.apple.com/message/10499544#10499544
    However, if that doesn't work, why bother with bootcamp? Use a virtual drive via Parallels or Fusion, and run both simultaneously. Rebooting is a pain.

    I can't boot a default win 8.1 Pro CD either (with a lenovo USB drive).
    I tried win10 and it pooched my system - does not boot at all, so I need to boot of an external device.

  • 845GMax won't boot from SCSi CD-ROm

    Hey,
    I have an MSI 845GMax that I can't get to boot from my SCSI CD-ROM.
    I am trying to install XP and it just hangs at the "Setup is detecting your hardware..." prompt.
    Any advice?
    System info:
    845GMax w/ P42.4B
    Adaptec 29160 3.10.00 bios
    2X Seagate Cheetahs
    2X Quantum Atlas

    Well,
    It's been a month and a half and have had no luck with MSI's support. I have found a couple of other users that suffer a similar problem to mine though.
    So at least it's not me. Would be nice to hear from MSI support on this though.
    Here is the description I sent in to tech support. Maybe they will read it here!
    Here is a better description of my problem.
    My system is all SCSI, no IDE. The board was used for a
    week or 2 with IDE hard drive & CD-ROM and never had this long pause at boot.
    If I boot a DOS floppy the system boots "normally".
    That said let me tell you what my testing has shown.
    Booting off CD-ROM:
    Place bootable WindowsXP disk into cdrom & hit power.
    Get the AMI BIOS logo
    then SCSI card bios...Finds the HD's, the CDRom & I get the
    "bootable disk" banner
    then the Intel NIC's bios banner
    then back to the "second" AMI bios summary screen.
    Get "press any key to boot CD" message from XP CDROM
    Get "Setup is detecting your hardware" banner
    ~4 minutes later it boots & installs fine
    Booting from Hard Drive
    Hit power button
    Get the AMI BIOS logo
    then SCSI card bios...Finds the HD's & the CDRom
    then the NIC's bios banner
    then back to the "second" AMI bios screen.
    then black screen for 2 for minutes
    then XP's "booting XP" startup screen.
    I also installed the XP "Recovery Console" (run winnt.exe /cmdcons) from
    the XP install cd. Search help on XP for "recovery console" for more
    info.
    Booting with Recovery console boot menu:
    press power button
    Get the AMI BIOS logo
    then SCSI card bios...Finds the HD's & the CDRom
    then the NIC's bios banner
    then back to the "second" AMI bios screen.
    Get Microsoft Recovery console boot menu select "recovery console"
    get "NTDETECT is checking your hardware..." message
    (like the blue startup screen when WindowsNT booted)
    it pauses for 2-4 minutes here
    then it boots me into the recovery console.
    It looks to me like it is NTDETECT.COM taking a long time to
    detect all the installed hardware.
    Any suggestions? Another user, who has the same problem only with a 2940 card and a SIS 648 board pointed me to:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q242518
    Could MSI have released a (bunch of) bios that incorrectly
    detects INT13 devices?  
    I would love to know!

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 Gen 2 VM failed to boot from SCSI DVD drive using ISO image file

    Hello:
    I'm having a problem trying to install Windows 8.1 Professional on a new Gen 2 VM. I created a new Gen 2 VM using Hyper-V Manager running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and then told it to boot off DVD drive which pionts to the ISO file that I copied to the E:
    drive.  The ISO file mounted in the virtual DVD drive is the Windows 8.1 Professional x64 VL ISO that I downloaded off of TechNet. When I start up the VM to install the OS, I receive this error:
    "Synthetic SCSI Controller (Instance ID 7512B228-F7BC-4DD8-B4F4-72A5B042C2E9): Failed to Power on with Error 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.' (0x80070570). (Virtual machine ID 4195A398-3531-4A34-8588-D1FC3F3DD2D4)"
    Basically the SCSI controller can't read the ISO file. However, the IDE controller on a Gen1 VM can read and boot from the ISO just fine. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a way to resolve this issue and allow me to boot the ISO from a SCSI
    controller?
    Or is there a bug with the Hyper-V SCSI controller that makes it unable to boot from ISOs properly?
    -JP

    Hi JP,
    In addition , please try  :
    1. copy the ISO to an not shared local folder or drive
    2. uncheck the   "enable secure boot" in VM settings .
    If the issue still persists , maybe you can try to down load a new ISO file then try to boot again .
    Hope it helps

  • Boot from SCSI CD Drive?

    The ATA port on my Power Mac G4 AGP failed so I purchased an internal SCSI CD-ROM drive to replace it, and hooked it up to the SCSI PCI card that came with the computer. The drive works fine on both Mac OS 9.2.2 and 10.4.11 but I cannot get the computer to boot from a disk in the drive. I have already made sure that the drive's ID is set to 3, and the PCI card's ID is 7. Holding "c" on boot flashes the icon breifly for no system folder found before defaulting to my hard drive, and if I hold option on boot the disk doesn't show up as one of my choices. Selecting a disk from startup disk in system preferences doesn't do it either. How can I get this drive working?

    The APPLE ATTO version of the Express PCI PSC SCSI card implements a Fast & Wide Single-Ended Bus. Its total cable length is limited to a nominal 1.5 meters, counting all extension cables and wiring on the boards of the drives.
    I have used three drives when the original Apple "teflon" cable is used, and careful attention is paid to exactly which drive is terminated. For use in Mac OS X, the firmware should be updated with ATTO or Apple firmware updaters.
    The APPLE/ATTO UL2D [with second internal connector removed] shipped in G4s, and should work fine in the Blue & White G3. It implements a faster Ultra2/LVD Bus, with very long cable lengths allowed, provided ALL drives are also LVD. It also has a separate external Bus. Firmware update for Mac OS X also required.
    Booting from these cards under Mac OS X is an interesting issue. They are supported on G4s, and should be supported on G3s, but I have just noticed that I have not been using them to Boot G3s, since I accidentally did not have the drives available to do it. More research will be required.

  • P6N SLI Won't boot from SCSI card

    I have a P6N SLI motherboard with a SCSI card I'm trying to boot from. The BIOS sees the card (as indicated by the BIOS when "Quick Booting" is disabled), however, it doesn't run the option ROM on the card necessary for it to boot from the SCSI card. I've tried several different SCSI cards (BusLogic, LSI, QLogic, Adaptec) and using a couple different video cards, one of them PCI. The only things I have plugged into the board are the video card and the SCSI card. Nothing seems to work. Am I missing an option in the BIOS or something?
    Thanks, Mark.

    Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 13-October-07, 06:11:28
    Did you ever try with devices attached to the SCSI card?  After all, what you want to boot from in the end is a SCSI drive.  Try hooking up a SCSI drive to the card, otherwise it is hard to tell if there even is a problem at all. 
    On the board I am using for example, the Intel ICH7DH RAID BIOS is only executed if there is more than one SATA drive hooked up to the ports hosted by the controller.
    That RAID BIOS has hooks into the system BIOS so it knows whether to initialize itself or not. How a SCSI card works is by having a boot ROM which scans the SCSI chain to determine drives. My use in all this is to have my system boot from my SAN. I'm using a QLogic 2300 for this purpose - and yes, it is connected into the SAN. However, as I said, it doesn't matter what if any devices are connected. The system BIOS MUST execute the option ROM on the card before the system even KNOWS there are SCSI devices to boot from. I'm not even getting as far as that. the option ROM never executes.
    Maybe I'm not explaining myself well and my use of "option ROM" needs explaining further. When you power on a system you'll see the following in order:
    1. Memory detection and count.
    2. IDE/SATA scan.
    3. BIOS looks for external cards and option ROMs, if they exist, are executed (SCSI in this case). You see this stage when you see something like "Adaptec 2940 BIOS v xx.xx - Press Ctrl-A to enter settings" or something like that. Next you'll see a listing of devices connected to that card, SCSI devices in this case - assuming you have any plugged in.
    4. After POST status screen - displays CPU, memory, any serial/parallel/USB IO configured and all devices initialized by the system BIOS and their assigned IRQs.
    5. System BIOS loads and runs the boot sector on the configured boot device. If any option ROMs have hooked themselves into interrupt 0x13 (option ROM boot interrupt), i.e. SCSI, then a SCSI boot device is used.
    My problem is that step 3 is skipped. My system goes straight from step 2 to step 4. Without the option ROM being called by the system BIOS, there's no chance of any SCSI device being used as a boot device.
    A good explanation of what an option ROM can be found at:

  • Windows on Imac12,1 issue - Cant boot from USB or CD/DVD

    Hello people.
    I have this problem with my iMac, that i cant boot it from a USB drive or a CD.
    Every time i try it says "No bootable device". Obviously i want to install Windows 7 to play a few games once in a while, and I've tried about everything i could imagine.
    When i bought the iMac, some moron had installed windows and somehow deleted OSX. The problem was the same back then when i tried to boot from the Snow Leopard CD/DVD, all it said was "No bootable drive". I installed OSX by FireWire (Target mode) and formatted the hard drive.
    I've tried to burn windows on a DVD as well as making a bootable usb drive, both with boot camp assistant, bot failed. "No bootable device".
    I have seen some workarounds been done with Virtual machines and such, but it didn't work for me.
    I already have downloaded parallels 7 and VMware Fusion (Latest, 5 i think. trial though). If any of you should know of a guide thats up to date, please do direct me to them - I've tried the ones i could find :-)
    I would really appreciate you guys taking your time to answer, as i have been struggling with this issue for weeks and weeks with no luck.
    Specs:
    Imac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011

  • Cant boot from snow leopard dvd and install crashes computer

    Folks, hi, newbie to this forum but at wits end.
    I have a MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010 model. I added the OMG disk doubler and ditched the internal dvd, so I now have 2 X 500GB hard drives, one of which has the OSX. This disk in trouble and Disk Utility says that it needs repairing, but i need to repair after booting from an different disk.
    So, I added a usb dvd drive and put in snow leopard. It would not boot via holding down 'c' and the option key only saw the current drive. No problems I thought, I will install onto the second hard drive and boot from that. The process got a fair way though (20 mins) and the computer crashed. I checked that it is GUID, tried again, and ditto. So, I made a new partition that was nice and clean -- and ditto. Stuck about now, I tried to format a usb hard drive -- ditto. Hmm, didnt want to, but out came the second drive and in went the old dvd drive -- same issue -- could not boot using c button and the option key did not recognise the snow leopard install. Out came the drive and I went to the apple store -- they told me that the Snow Leopard I had brought was an upgrade and that I needed a Box Set. $169 later and - you guessed it -- the dvd is the same, no start on c, not recognised on option, and the computer crashes if I try and install to the second hard drive or an external drive.
    Help anyone??

    when i go to system prefs- startup, the dvd does not show up in the list of startup drives. The apple salesman said that the OSX install disk I purchased was not a start up disk / full install but rather an upgrade only disk. That is why he said to use the box set as a 'full install' - but both appear to not start up or be able to do a clean install. I just end up with a set of files call Mac OSX install files.

  • Cant boot from USB or DVD to install WIN 8.1 ENT

    Hello,
    Im currently evaluating a Thinkpad tablet 10 at work. The installed OS is atm 8.1 Pro but we have to reinstall with 8.1 Enterprice in order to get everything to work within our network.
    But this have been more difficult than i thought. Im totally unable to bot from USB or DVD.
    To sum up:
    - Made bootable usb win 8.1 ent (fat32) with Rufus
    - Made bootable dvd with PowerISO
    Both works perfect in an ordinarie PC.
    - Mainly booting from computersettings/reset/advanced start/use unit. 
    - Changed boot order in BIOS
    - Toggled safe boot on/off
    - Tried usb hdd / usb fdd / usb cd/dvd / etc
    Whatever i choose - i reach the ordinarie win-login page. 
    - Updated bios to latest version
    Whatever i do - No boot reaction at all.
    Hope I will get some answers so that we can use this tablet.
