Bios showing incorrect value

Diana Barron_1 — Mon, 16 May 2005 08:11:25 GMT

We are trying to Ghost the Server and it errors out saying the "Error 57: Cylinder # is to large for the BIOS" and "ERROR #109: Partition ends after end of Disk". They (Symantec) said the BIOS is corrupt. Is there anyway to rebuild the BIOS without having to rebuild and lose our server. Have a partinfo file I can send if needed. Actual Ending Cylinders on Sector 2 is 1554 Cyl, 254 Head, 63 Sect. Partinfo says it should be 1023 Cyl, 254 Head, 63 Sect. Is there a BIOS upgrade or something that will help.
I have attached a copy of the Parition info.

Hi Diana,

The information you posted won't be enough to say anything about this server

1.What is the server? Netserver, prolaint or what?
2. What is the current system BIOS on the server in question?
3. Where did you get this errors? on Post or in the ghosting?
4. How many Hard drives do you have and how are they setup? how many logical drives
5. May be current Operating system you are running in this server as well

Sorry I should have include this the first time.

Answers:

1. HP Netserver LH3
2. Current BIOS: 4.06.43
3. When running GHOST we received an "Error #57: Cylinder is too large for BIOS". Symantec then had me run a Nortons Parition Info on the server and it has a "Error 109: Parition ends after end of disk". I have attached the Parition Info txt file to this message.
4. 4 - 4GB Drives, with 2 logical drives (SYS and Vol1)
5. Windows NT Server with SP6a is the current operating system.

Thanks
Diana
