BIOS doesn't find boot record
Did you set your BIOS to boot from SCSI disk?
-- steve remove _thenut_ to reach me "Luc Lecocq" wrote in message ... Hello, I just made a fresh install of XP Pro SP1 on a new PC with a SCSI disk as boot drive. Everything went fine, until I removed the XP install CD from the CD drive. Since that time, I got at boot time: "Searching for Boot Record from SCSI..Not Found" If I put back the Install CD in the CD drive, it boots fine, on the disk, and works perfectly !! But without CD, no way. I tried to do a "fixmbr c:", an fdisk /MBR, no luck. But the boot record is on the disk, I can see it with Partition Magic, see below. The SCSI controller is an old Diamond Fireport, that I used in another PC, never had a problem to boot before. The PC is an HP VL420 with latest BIOS, I went through all BIOS screen but did not see anything I could change. One thing I tried, that worked temporarily, was to reinstall XP over the 1st install. But after 2 or 3 reboot, the same problem went back. I tried reinstalling a 3rd time, but it did not work.
