Netserver E60 unable to boot Windows 2003 bootable CD

[Akos Toth]

Hi,

I'm new to servers. I'd like to install Windows 2003 on the above server (400Mhz single CPU). Previously WinNT server was installed, so I started by formatting all hard drives. Then in Bios I've set CDROM to be the first booting device, but after every restart I always get the error message 'operating system not found'.

I've tried these:
1) made sure the CD is bootable by inserting it in another computer
2) changed the CD-rom drive in the server
3) booted from Win98 boot floppy disk with CD-rom support and I could open the CD and see the files on it.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Hi,

Someone helped me find the solution. It was a simple thing, but unfortunately I have little experience:

The problem was that the original CD drive didn't work, and I realized it too late. I put it in another PC and it was recognized, but can't read any CD.

I couldn't boot with the CD drive that I replaced it with because I forgot to set the jumper to cable select and it was not recognized by the bios.

I changed the jumper setting and now it's booting fine.
