Intel 82566dc... hi im trying to take aghost image to our servers of this board but cant seem to locate a ndis2 boot disk is there another way i can do this..im using ghost solotuions v2...

If you are using an image made from the IBM and it has a different processor and the board specs are different that can cause the drive not to boot it will act like it is then go into a perpetual boot. I would try to re image it again to insure that is ok on the drive also check the board If one is and AMD and the other an Intel then that would be part of the problem.

HP SmartStart CD x32
The utility to use to set up the ML370 g3 server is the SSCD (smart start cd) this is a guided installation cd that will help you set up the array, install drivers and diagnostic utilities and after that
will request the windows cd so that you can finish the installation.
instructions:
1. download SSCD from here
2. extract the zip file
3. burn the ISO image to a cd
4. boot the server to the cd
5. choose from the main menu the option "Deploy server"
6. follow the wizard

Long answer:

Your computer tries to "boot" from various devices:
* the 'A:' diskette drive
* the CD-ROM drive
* a bootable image on a USB memory-stick
* via the network-adapter, if there is a "boot-server" somewhere on your local network.

So, enter BIOS SETUP, and check that your disk-drive is one of "enabled" boot devices. Also, check that the disk-drive is "detected" by the BIOS.

If your disk-drive is not connected, or not responding, and there is nothing in the 'A:' drive and nothing in the CD-ROM drive, then the PXE (Pre eXecution Environment) will try to "talk" to a boot-server on your network. If no such server is found, you get the "check cable connection" message, and you are prompted to put some "bootable" media into the 'A:' drive or the CD-ROM drive.

Short answer: your disk-drive has "died". You need to replace it, and to install Windows onto the new disk-drive.

I hope that you recently made a good "backup" of all your data files!

hi im josh in cebu phils. if it turns on but not boot. the problem is no set boot sector is selected. friend try to enter bios set up and then go to boot menu. then select hard drive to boot first.then save the changes then restart the pc. if nothing improves open your pc check the ide or sata cable if it is ok.no cut not losen.try to tighten firmly first then turn on your pc. if it doesnt work the same try to change the ide/sata cable and dont forget to give power supply on your hard disk.ok. good luck

Hello there,

If your board is Intel, you can download drivers from there, using the code number of the board, or name.
it is more easy!

I should assume the CD drive is SCSI? What sequence is it set to come up in? Set it at 2 if possible. Have you checked, or better yet replaced the CD drive? Will it boot with ANYTHING else?
That Hiren's CD is not uuummm, kosher? People having problems booting with it and all, plus the utilities may not have full function anyway. No matter what, you will need to f/disk the destination drive. You will still need the CD drive to install the program too.
Backup software will still make an exact copy of your drive also. You might want to consider a little better product, especially concerning disaster recovery. not to get off topic but, a quote from J. Bolton on backup & recovery
"What will you do if a user overwrites a 1000page doc with a blank file with the same name? What will you do if one of multiple server apps goes bonkers? If the mainboard dies how will imaging get your system back? Do you stock a spare board so the image restore will work on the exact same hardware? After a system crash, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server allows you to perform a full system restore, a bare-metal restore or just a restore of individual files and folders.
Complete system restoration can be performed to an existing system, to a new system with different hardware or to a virtual machine. You could setup a whole new system and dump the image on that.
