K7N2 Delta w/n boot from cd-rom

Building a new system. Has 2800+ Barton CPU, 512m Mushkin PC2700 in slot 1, GeForce4 MX440 w/64m. Memorex 40 CD-R and Teac 12X CD-ROM.
Went into Bios setup fine and set req'd settings.
When trying to boot off of CDROM to install XP, Floppy makes the usual noise, DMI pool info comes up, nVidia boot agent appears after "Boot from CDROM" msg appears.
I'm getting a "PXE-EX61 Media test failure, check cable" msg, then "Disk boot failure" msg.
I've tried both cdr and cdrom drives together AND separately, but neither one works. I know the cable is good.
Also have tried using cdrom AND floppy as 1st boot devices, with same result. I've read 12+ pages of earlier posts and replies with only 1 post similar to mine. Tried hooking up only 1 optical drive and using the floppy as the 1st boot device as suggested, but no luck.
Any other suggestions?

davida62,
Try the XP CD in another comp. Make sure it is not the issue. Also you would try the drives in another comp to make sure they will boot from the CD.
When we have the answers to those questions we can proceed with the troubleshooting of your comp.
Take Care,
Richard

  • How to boot from CD-Rom on 520CDT with no OS on hard drive

    Hi
    I formatted the drive on this Tecra 520CDT laptop (old I know but I have a use for it), only to discover that it does not seem to want to boot from the CD-Rom drive. I no longer have the interchangeable floppy drive. Any suggestions as to how I could force it to boot from CD-Rom (I have changed boot order in Bios) Windows disks or something else?
    Until I can do so, I cannot reinstall an OS.
    Alternatively, will any old external floppy drive work, and if so which port? will it boot from parallel port?
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    on these "Oldies" you have to create a boot floppy disk with the CD Driver.
    Then you must connect the CD and Floppy Drives, have to boot this Floppy disk and C: prompt will be available!
    Then when the CD ROM driver was loaded you can start the CD.
    It can be that you need the original Toshiba Drives!
    Bye TOK

  • Can't get my Imac to boot from CD rom

    Sorry for posting the same thread. I made a mistake on the last threads title but I marked the last one as answered. Anyways,I'am trying to use the Mac install CD version of disk utility to repair parts of the disk that can't be repaired by the one on the operating system. I tried holding option key. Whenever I click CD rom, it still boots from the hard drive. I also tried using system preferences to boot boot from CD rom, holding c at startup, and holding cmd option shift delete at startup and it still boots from the hard drive. Why is the computer doing this?

    Selected the clone from Preferences > Startup, did a reboot and it still appears that the booting is from the internal HD. I mean it appears like  90% of the booting sound comes from the internal HD, there is only a bit of light flicker (LED) at the beginning and the end of the booting process on the external HD. The clone is named 'clone'.
    I did booting from an external HD on my old G5 imac a good few times, it took a while longer and I coud hear and see the booting (LED) from external HD, so I have kind of a 'feeling' how it should be like.
    The external HD starts up no problem. It appears on the desktop, I can select it under Preferences > Startup and it shows up during startup using option-key.
    Having done the booting, selecting the external HD, I can dismount it and still can open programms and documents, so it ought to be the internal HD ?

  • Satellite M45: Cannot boot from CD-ROM or HDD

    I'm getting the following messages...
    WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table"
    WHEN BOOTING FROM CD-ROM: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM"
    Consequently, even though I have the recovery CDs the computer cannot read them.
    I tried changing boot order to no avail. Created a Bart's bootable CD which works in my other computer but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers I need for this CD-ROM?
    I am at wits end on this one.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think your partition on the HDD is corrupt and therefore you cannot boot from the HDD.
    In such cases the HDD should be completely formatted and then you could try to install the OS.
    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the bootable CD (WinXP???) and therefore its not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, its really stupid situation :_| really stupid!
    However, did you try booting from other CD? For example original Microsoft Windows CD?
    If not I would recommend to do it and possibly the drive will be able to read the other CD.
    If not so I think the drive must be checked. Possibly its also corrupt.

  • HP 2000 cannot boot from cd rom

    I have made a DVD boot disc, but cannot get my HP 2000 to boot from CD ROM.  I altered the bios setup to enable boot from CD ROM and I made CD/DVD the first boot option.  I also have tried F9 to enter the boot options menu.  I do not see an option to boot from CD ROM.  How can I get my HP 2000 to boot from CD/DVD?
    I am messing around with the TAILS operating system.  My ultimate goal is to boot TAILS from the DVD drive.  I also have tried booting tails from USB, but after reading a while on this issue I have read that some HP machines do not support booting from USB.

    I need to resurrect this thread.  Still cannot boot from the CD drive.  I have verified my boot disc, so the problem is with the laptop.  Same setup as I noted above regarding bios and OS.  
    Laptop is HP 2000-2d60DX
    Bios is INSYDE F.45, 2/10/2014
    My basic problem is still that when I enter the boot options menu, boot from CD/DVD is not an option. 
    While researching I did come across this post,  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/How-to-boot-from-USB-with-the-new-uefi-bios/td-p/2552... It states that legacy boot needs to be enabled.  However, when begining to enable Legacy Boot I receive the warning that the laptop will not be able to boot the OS (Windows 8.1), so I cancel changes.  I would prefer not to have to enable/disable legacy boot everytime I try to switch between Windows and TAILs.
    At this point, it would help to confirm that I have the needed version of the Bios (guess I should call it UEFI).  Also, clarify if enabling Legacy Boot is needed.
    Thanks.

  • K7N2-L won't boot when CD-ROM installed

    I'm assembling a new system:
    K7N2-L, Athlon XP 1800+, 48C stabilized in setup
    BIOS version W6570MS V5.0 031803 (from CMOS setup)
    512MB DDR2700 RAM
    Enlight HPC-340 PSU: 3.3V@28A, 5V@30A, 12V@15A, 285W max.
    I installed an old hard drive as the Primary master, WD AC38400L, that has Win95 on it from a previous system.  The jumpers on the WD drive are set to "single drive."
    With an old Mitsumi 4x CD-R drive as the CD-ROM (Secondary IDE master), it boots fine from the hard disk (the Mitsumi doesn't support El Torito, so I can't test booting from a CD).
    With a Sony CDU5211 (on the compatibility list) as the CD-ROM, the system won't boot at all, from CD or HD: I get the "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message.  The system appears to never try booting from the CD, even if I set that first in the boot order.
    I swapped the CDU5211 with a CDU5211 in another machine; both CDU5211's work in the other machine and exhibit the same symptoms in the new one.
    Both drives are detected correctly on bootup and in CMOS setup.
    I have the boot order set to Floppy, IDE-0, CDROM.
    There is no floppy drive in the machine (who needs one, these days?); setting the CMOS settings to reflect that does not change the symptoms.
    I tried installing a new Maxtor 40GB (ATA-133) and got the same symptoms.
    I'm hoping I have missed something obvious; please illuminate me!  :)

    Wonkanoby and I were just saying the same thing in different ways.  He was stating the jumper should be completely removed, and I was just making the point that there is a neutral position for the jumper.  I understand that there is no functional electrical connection with the jumper there, and that it does not matter if the jumper is on those pins or in the trash can.  
    My point about using the MS-6378 to test the hard drive and CD-ROM was that it proved there wasn't something wrong with those or with my jumper settings on the drives.  I know it's a completely different board.
    I like the specs on the K7N2, so I will probably get another one at some point (when my credit card has recovered).  I just got one with an atypical problem this time.  The discussions here of problems with the onboard LAN were what convinced me to stick with the ASUS A7V333 for now; that, and it was $25 cheaper.  I'm not looking for screaming performance ATM anyway, just something I can use for testing Windows Server 2003.  This is about the 12th computer in my home lab.

    I bought a brand new power supply thinking that would solve my problem. But to no avail that didn't work. So, I disconnected the power and reset cables from the motherboard and jumped the board and it still does the same thing.   And it's driving me nutts.   I checked the processor and its cool. Could it be a memory problem? I remember getting memory errors like for a week before. Sorry for the long post for a newbie to the forum.

  • K7N2 Delta Athlon 2600+ Boot Problem!!

    Hey this is my first post...
    Here is my comp:
    K7N2 Delta Series MB
    Athlon XP 2600+
    Thermaltake Volcano 7+
    512 DDR PC3200
    GeForce 4 Ti 4200
    I noticed that my comp is booting at 1200 mhz. My comp is reading the CPU as a 1.2. I checked the bios and turned the fsb up to 200 mhz because my friend said he read in a forum that it was ok to do so. I did this and now my comp doesn't read my video card. It boots up ok just I have no picture. I have tried resetting the bios and still I have no pic. My questions are this:
    1)Am I not flashing the bios correctly, and if so what is the best way to do it?
    2)Could I have permanently damaged the motherboard or video card?
    3)If none of the above what do you guys recommend I do to fix the problem and what have I done to create the problem in the first place?
    Well if you can please help. I really want to be able to see windows again or even the bios!  
    Thanks

    set jumper j10 to pins 1-2 and remove jumper j11. set cmos jumper to clear........unplug the power from wall....... press your power button to relieve any charge left in the mb.........now place cmos jumper to save......plug power back in, and try to start it.......if all goes well and it fires up set bios defaults....save and exit bios.............replace j11 and set j10 to pins 2-3.......and restart.
    btw jmbook 166 fsb is also overclocking a 2600......default is 133 so take baby steps.

  • Sunblade 1000 will boot from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM

    I have Sunblade 1000 with a pre-installed Solaris 8 OS. I originally purchased the workstation without a CD-ROM. I bought an old Sun 411 CD-ROM. After installing the 411 CD-ROM, I entered "boot cdrom". Somehow it will not boot from the CD-ROM drive. When I do a "probe-scsi-all" I will often get "fatal scsi errors", but sometimes the SCSI info will be displayed, bizzare. When I type the explicit or long device name with the boot command, it still will not boot. After looking for solution in the Internet and exhausting a few UNIX friends from my questions, I called Sun. According to Sun, the only compatible CD-ROM for the Sunblade 1000 is the DVD-ROM, which is OEM by Sun,and usually ships with this workstation.
    After, getting over the shock that Sun sold the Sunblade 1000 without providing backward compatibility, and suffering the humiliation of spending much need company resources for a potentially useless CD-ROM, we broke down and bought the DVD-ROM.
    After spending $500 dollars for the DVD-ROM, the Sunblade still cannot boot from the DVD-ROM. If I boot from the disk, and after the system comes up, the DVD-ROM shows that it is mounted, I can browse it's content, etc.
    I currently have the Solaris Installation CD in DVD-ROM drive. I also tried booting off the Solaris 2.51, and 2.7 CDs. Here are some info that comes back when I entered the various commands:
    ok banner
    SUNW, Sun-Blade-1000 (UltraSPARC-III), Keyboard present OpenBoot 4.0, 512 MB memory installed.....yada yada
    ok boot cdrom
    Boot device: /pci@8, 700000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f File and args

    ok probe-scsi-all
    /pci@8, 700000/scsi@6
    Fatal SCSI error at script address 8 Illegal instruction
    Fatal SCSI error at script address 8 Illegal instruction
    Thanks in advance,
    Joe

    I'm quoting from an old usenet article from Tony Walton
    (@...sun.com)
    http://groups.google.com/groups?q=solaris+probe-scsi-all+reset+auto-boot&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&site=groups
    �
    You should only run probe-scsi after the hardware has reset
    but before it's initialized to start running Solaris (you
    might get away with stopping then running probe-scsi early
    in the boot sequence, but that's only a matter of luck,
    really).
    The recommended sequence is to disable autobooting if it's
    set (so the machine won't boot itself automatically after a
    PROM reset), then reset the hardware, then probe-scsi, then
    re-enable auto-booting (if it was enabled in the first
    place).
    So, go to the ok prompt, then
    setenv auto-boot? false
    reset-all
    probe-scsi (or probe-scsi-all)
    setenv auto-boot? true
    reset-all

  • No able to boot from CD-ROM - ProBook 4530s

    Hello ,
    I have a ProBook 4530s (A7K05UT # ABA) computer which i want to format
    when entering the BIOS configuration i dont have the CD-ROM option. 
    there is a "USB CD-ROM" option, USB Flppy but no "CD-ROM" alon
    Choosing "USB CD-ROM" is not working and the disk is not uploaded
    Do you know how can i fix this boot problem? 

    Hi,
    There are Two options to try and reinstall Windows - the 2nd is the easiest, but you may want to try the 1st to see if it will save you having to order a replacement set of discs - make sure to back-up any important files first.
    1.  If you can still boot in to Windows, hold down the Windows Key and press R.  Into the Run Box type compmgmt.msc and hit enter.  Click Disk Management in the left pane and when the partitions have loaded, right click the Recovery Partition and mark it as 'Active'.  Close all open windows and then restart - if this has worked, the notebook will boot from the Recovery Partition upon restart.
    2.  You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
    If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  • Freezing and not booting from CD-ROM

    I am the ultimate 'techno-lagging' individual so bear with me! My computer keeps 'sticking' i.e. it freezes for about 10 secs every minute or less. To try to correct this, I ran Norton which told me that I had major problems on the Catalog-B Tree and had to re-boot the computer using the Norton CD-ROM as the StartUp Disk to correct this. So I did.
    The problem is that the computer will not re-boot from the CD-ROM, it keeps opening up with the Internal Software. I also tried using the Disk Warrior CD-ROM with the same result. I haven't got with me the original OS X installation disks. I ran Disk Utility which repaired the 'permissions', yet the problem persists.
    How on earth can I get the computer to recognise either of the aforementioned CD-ROMs as the Start-Up Disk? Or is this such a mega-problem that I'll have to take the dear machine to the nearest Apple Dealer Hospital?

  • K7N2 Delta problem after flashing from 5.0 to 5.3

    I was using my K7N2 Delta nicely but after flashing the BIOS from 5.0 to 5.3 in LiveUpdate3 (all OK) and then when LiveUpdate ask to reboot... GOOD BYE!
    When bootin the D-lights show that I have a processor damaged or not intalled properly (two red light up, and two green down...).
    My processor is an Old Tbird 1.2 Ghz with 100FSB.
    The question is: Why the mother stops recognicing the processor if before flashing BIOS worked nicely?.
    J10 and J11 jumpers:
    When I opened case to check out, I had the green J10 and J11 jumpers closed in the mother. The J10 was in safe mode, and the J11 jumper was closed...(133FSB-166FSB??).
    I only have another athlon 1.1 ghz FSB100 processor to test the mobo, but I don´t want to take the risk of burn that one two (if is that the problem, of course).
    So... I want to know how can I reflash the bios back (I have the old BIOS in a backup floppy disk, of course)... or if anyone else have the same problem as me....
    Thanx a lot guys, and please help me... I´m very sad by now... because I don´t know how to get my computer to work.

  • Boot from CD-Rom option no longer available when I press F9 on the Startup Menu

    After bringing up the options menu after pressing the Esc Key, when I press F9 there is no longer an option to boot from the CD-ROM showing in the list.
    Also when I use the System Recovery option and select the option to Boot the Laptop using the Internal CD-ROM, after the Laptop has restarted a message appears basically saying the selected boot option is not available and I have no idea what the problem is.

    Hi @John-Davis ,
    I saw your post regarding the option to boot from CD no longer being an option in your BIOS. I will be happy to help. Let's start with testing the DVD/CD ROM or optical drive. This HP document Testing for Hardware Failures will show you how to access the UEFI tools that come as part of your initial setup. Under Components Tests there will be a one for the Optical Drive. Run that to see if the optical drive has failed.
