When using adaptec controller cd-rom cant boot

[Bjarte Vatn]

Hi i have a smal problem

1 I installed a new controller(adaptec a2944UW) on my LPR server
2 I use this to connect to external disc array
3 When i boot the adaptec controller finds the external disks, but i can not boot with my win2k server cd.

WHY ?????

hi
try to perform a clear cmos, there may be a irq conflict, chek also for a connection problem on the cd-rom or pin bended.
bye

Hi,

Mario made some good points , i like to add one:
Did you check the scsi id on the tape drive?

is there a tape in the tape drive? If so remove it, I would also disable the BIOS on the SCSI controller if your system discs are not connected to it.
