(Redirected) Disk boot IDE on PE840

I have a PowerEdge 840 which I plan to use as a server of media using Openmediavault.  I like to use all 4 sata for storage drives, OMV must reside on the respective drive and it is not recommended to use a USB.  If I bought an IDE PCI-E card could I then use it to the startup disk and always control the matrix raid on 4 sata ports?  All suggestions received with gratitude, thank you.

    Hi Kim,
     
    -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
     
    If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
    • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
    • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
    • You don't have any boot device
    • You have installed a new hard drive
    • The hard drive is not properly connected
    • Your system files have been infected

    Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

  • Disk Boot Failure, installation of Windows 7

    Hi all

    I just bought a new copy of Windows 7 Home 64 bit. I'm trying to install it on a drive hard new, unformatted. I went into my BIOS and change the boot order of the old (now unplugged during the installation process) hard drive to a CD first.

    With the disc of windows 7 in my DVD player, I restart, it attempts to boot from the disk, and I get the message "echec failed startup disk, insert system disk and press on enter." No matter what I try to change I get this message.

    A few details:

    -The DVD is new and works fine. I plugged my old HD and kicked upward to test to make sure.

    -The system I is; motherboard: EVGA Nforce 680i LT, 4 GB of RAM, Intel Duo core 2.66 MHz.

    -The new HD is recognized in the system. He appears in the area of Standard CMOS of my BIOS and Hard disk boot priority devices.

    -The new HD is not formatted.

    -Start with my old IDE HD with windows XP very well.

    Someone at - he better BIOS works then me who can help me understand the question!

    Please and thank you!

    When 1st turn on the PC, it must be at the bottom of the splash / logo screen a short message identifying which key (usually an F or Del key), you will have to type (tap her several times while the splash screen is displayed).

    Once in the BIOS even if you can not remove the floppy disk from the list you should be able to make the last item in the boot order list. With the listed player before the floppy drive, once Windows is installed you'll need never press F1 again.

  • Fees ESXi 5 installation - Disk Boot Failure

    I've just set up a new unit.  8 core processor, 32 RAM, 1 TB HD.  I'm stuck trying to install VMware ESXi 5.  using motherboard Gigabyte GA - a 970 - UD3.

    Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press ENTER, is the message he said after loading OS...

    I threw in an old dell windows reinstall the cd to see if it bypassed this error, and he did.

    I tried another file .iso of another copy of windows, and he gave me the same error as the esxi disk 5.

    Any ideas?  Is it possible that my motherboard does not recognize the iso files as bootable files?

    P.S. I have to keep my HD unplugged, b/c when its im plugged by getting "NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" error message.  Im hoping once I have esxi installed, I can update all drivers and get rid of this error, so that I can load it from the hard drive.

    Welcome to the community,

    Is it possible that my motherboard does not recognize the iso files as bootable files?

    When you burn a CD, do not burn the ISO as a file on this CD, but use the "Burn Image" of the CD burning application.

  • HP Pavilion p6 2000-ukm: recovery disk/boot on a new HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a hp Pavilion p6 2000 ukm. Recently I started getting on my HARD drive error messages, saying it was a failure. I recently bought a new HDD in my pc. I connected it correctly and it says that I need recovery disk / boot disk.

    To my knowledge when I bought this pc there was no disk Windows 7. Now I know on workstations, you create your own.

    My question is... How to get windows 7 installed on my new hard drive when I plug it in? I'm looking for the iso of windows 7, I think that his name, but I can't find any .iso file.  I'm trying to install windows 7 on my new drive HARD I need not my other files like music... etc. I'm looking to get my HARD drive installed with windows 7, where it has IE and I can go back to the installation of everything I had previously. Should u use "create a system image"? Its a big file and requires 7 + dvd discs is my only option? I have my 25 key windows 7 as well.

    Any help is thank you attended.

  • Disk Boot Failure on Pavilion a1720n

    My computer froze and crashed, then went to a black screen saying Disk Boot failure Insert System Disk. When I go to start my computer it goes either directly on the screen or it starts and runs fine for about 10 minutes and goes back to a black screen, repeat the disk boot failure.

    It is usually a very strong indication that your hard drive is dying. I hope you did the recovery disk set that will be required to reinstall your Windows and your software to a new hard drive.

    One thing you might try is first to enter the BIOS to turn on by pressing the F10 key. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings then F10 to save and exit.

  • Try to install Windows XP and at the start of the drive I get the error message: Disk Boot Failure

    Disk Boot Failure

    I recently learned that so that my motherboard compatible with my operating system, I have need to uninstall the current one and install Windows XP. I use Windows 7, so I booted from this CD and deleted all the partitions and data (nothing is important there), then I went to start my new Windows XP CD and it says "Disk Boot Failure... etc.

    I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD, seeing as the other CD has worked to boot from, it doesn't seem to be a problem with my drive. I can't understand. Maybe it's a dodgy CD?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Check the manual of your motherboard you may need to reset the CMOS or make a hard CMOS reset to default.

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

    Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

    At the recovery console command line, type:

    Chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    I have Windows XP on my computer.  To remove a Trojan on my system, I tried to put my computer in safe mode.  After that, all that came was a white text on a black screen.  I waited for a while, but nothing else came.  So, I turned off the computer.  After turning it back on, the computer says "disk boot failure".  She also asked me to insert the disk system, but my computer never came with the Xp disc.  It was already loaded on my computer.  To compensate for this, I bought a Windows Vista upgrade disc, but is not let me load because it is an upgrade.  Please, help me.  I'm at my wit's end.  Also, I am very computer illiterate, so that all the instructions, please be as simple as possible.  Thank you.

  • Restart problems, error Disk Boot error, if please install disk and press a key

    Original title: problems of Reboot

    When I restart my computer it say "Disk Boot error, if please install disk and press a key:?"

    Hello

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    2. have you changed the BIOS boot device?

    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    This could be related to:

    · Startup options is not correctly defined in the BIOS

    · A non bootable CD is in your CD player

    · You don't have any boot device

    · You have installed a new hard drive

    · The hard drive is not properly connected

    · Your system files have been infected

    Change the boot order in the CMOS (BIOS) settings so that your disc is the first in the list.

    a. restart the computer.
    b. new computers often display a startup (or boot) menu. In the start menu, choose "Configuration of the BIOS," or "BIOS settings," or something similar.

    Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DELETE, ESC) or a combination of keys immediately after you
    turn on your computer but before Windows starts. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer again.

    c. the BIOS configuration screen appears. On the BIOS Setup screen, choose the option called "Boot order" or something similar. Startup command settings can also be saved
    under "Advanced settings" or something similar.
    d. Select your drive from DVD or USB drive as first boot device.
    e. restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved.


    BIOS WARNING

  • Vista 64-bit, DISK BOOT FAILURE

    So I have this Acer Aspire AX3200-U3600A with Windows Vista (64-bit). Every night I turn it off and turn it back on in the morning.

    About three weeks ago, I did a factory fresh reimage. Good as new.

    Then about two days ago, when I turned it on, I noticed it was running extremely slow. As in, he would often freeze while I had several applications open when it froze usually never upward. So I decided to restart my computer. Big mistake.

    My computer froze right after that I clicked on stop. I waited some time. Nothing. Waited a few minutes. Nope. I decided to stop it by pressing the power button. Here is where the problems begin.

    When I turned it back on, I saw the bar logo and loading of Windows, and then load to black. I turned it off again with force by the power button / stop and then once more... then I got:

    AMD data change... Update new data on a DMI interface!

    then later clears the screen and I get:

    AHCI Option ROM BIOS revision: 01.05.92 Date: 19/02/2008 Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Phoenix Technologies, LTD. Port 01: Reset Port error! Port 02:

    then the screen clears again, but this time it loads from the bottom:

    NVIDIA Boot Agent 249.0542 (copyright stuff... blah blah) PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: Released Nvidia Boot Agent DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.

    So, I try to go to Safe Mode. Well, first it loads faster. After it loads disk.sys fromwindows/pilots, he waits a while (2-3 minutes) and THEN load. However, it loads the Acer eRecovery Management Tool. I have three options: reset the computer to factory, restore the backup of the user, or output. However, the upper part, two options are gray and disabled so that the output is in blue and certainly clickable. Secure mode so obviously isn't here...

    A strong thing to note: Initially when this all started, I made a start Windows Normal pressing f8 and I arrived at my office! It me logged in. I could see the icons on my files. However, my office was extremely slow as in when I clicked on the start menu, he'd wait awhile, and then load the menu with JUST the gradient, no text or icons... so as you can see... He saw my HARD drive?

    Also, before anyone says, I no. plugged USB. My mouse and keyboard are not entered USB, I assure you. And it came without a recovery CD AND when I went into the BIOS, to change the BOOT ORDER, I have NOT seen a CD-ROM option. And when I tried pressing ALT + F10 to enter Acer eRecovery Management, the options of two albums have been disabled as well.

    But sometimes, on startup, I get:

    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as a USB external drive when the appliance is used, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    Status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred.

    Then I tried the last known good Configuration settings, which gives me a BSOD.

    What should I do

    Hello

    This explains the reasons for this error

    http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/104472-solved-PXE-E61-media-test.html

    Chances are that it is a hard failure.

    Go to the Acer Web site > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

    See you soon.

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
