it sounds like you have a lousy CD burn ... try using the
disk-at-once
(DAO)
burning method and try it again.

LC, cheers for the pointer. I will give that a go this week and let you
know. Have a good weekend.

Hi there. I changed the drive and got a slightly different result this
time. After 3 different burns of the disk using Nero, I got the good
old 'Non system disk....' message from each of the 3 CDs on boot.

The contents of each of the CDs is as below. Do you think it could just
be a dodgy image from the Compaq/Hp site?

Do you, by any chance, know where I could get an alternative image?

Cheers for your time.

Byron.

lots of people have problems with the HP ISO .... I dont know what they used
to rip it, but the package I had made a while back from a good CD was Nero
5.5.x.x and i used Disk At Once and its been perfect everytime. In fact, for
some reason, I have made a dozen coasters trying to burn 5.50 for a recent
project I was working on, and had to revert back to that old version of Nero
before it would work. Boy, did that suck ...

I have made several of these recently using EasyCD Creator Basic (the
free thing). The trick for me is all based around burn speed. I select
the lowest possible number, which with EasyCD and my particular drive
is 8x. 12x also seems to work most of the time. Any speed faster than
this results in a failure.

Heres a thought, NC, what if one of us took a known good disc and used
it to create a more MODERN iso image? Could this image then be expected
to burn at full speed?

I seem to have gotten into the habit of burning EVERY iso at the slower
speeds. Even when I got the new Fedora Core 5, the week before last, I
still burned the discs at the slow speed...just to avoid the
possibility of making new coasters.

Hi there,

Followed your advice and bingo. Writing at x4, the slowest the drive
will allow, and it worked. At last. Cheers for the pointer.

Now lets see how far I can get from this point before I am back.

Cheers.

Hi,

Got it. On the 4th attempt I used the slowest write speed that the
drive will allow and finally I have a boot CD.

Now lets see what else this out beauty throws at me.

Cheers for your help.

My pleasure. As I said before, I have gotten used to burning ANY iso
file (that I expect to be bootable) at the slowest possible speed.

Now when I take a good 5.50 disk and attempt to COPY it onto a blank
disc, I can do so at full speed with no problem. It's just burning from
the iso that constitutes the big bottle-neck.

All built and runs like a dream with 2003. Any ideas how to stop the
bios failing on no keyboard for lights-out booting?

Cheers for your help.

Actually, yes.

Run the F10 utilities, and press CTRL+A to get into the advanced menu. Then
run the SCU and edit the settings. There is an option for "headless" or
something to that effect.

However, I would suggest getting a RILOE (or RILOE II) board for your
server, as it taps into the KVM ports on the server, and gives you complete
remote control and administration over the system. Last one i bought on ebay
was $25 about 3 weeks ago.

With all of the RILOE talk, lately, I am feeling the urge to play with
one myself. Ebay does have several listed...can you tell me the part
number I need for a ProLiant 1600 or 3000?
