Default Help with Proliant 3000 and SmartStart 5.50


Well i downloaded the Smart Start 5.50 CD image from NuTCrAcKeR but whe
i try to boot form it i get DISK i/o Error on the server.

Is it a bad image file? I can read the disk fine on my other box, Iv
tried burining it TOC and DOC and DOC/96

Its really frustrating me.

The cd rom is good, cause ive been having no problems reading othe
disks in the system. (Smart Start 7.x)

Sigh

Darq and I confirmed the checksums on the archive he downloaded, and they
matched. So conventional wisdom would suggest that the download was good.

At first he was buring to CDRW media, and he is using a program I am not
familiar with. I use Nero almost exclusively, and I use the default "track
at once" method, since thats how the iso was generated (save track).

I dont know if the media is still CDRW, or if he has tried CD-R at this
point. I cant really provide any advice for a product (rom burner) that I
havent used.

Have you tried a different CD ROM drive? I know you said yours is good, but
it looks like a problem I have with my Proliant 800. It will not boot from
a CD-R disk, I tried a few different ones, and it either acted like there
was no disk, or came up with an error, but it has no problems with retail
CDs

I remember seeing behavior like that on some older machines too.
