Disk I/o Error: Os Loader V4.01 - Help!!!

jroyce · 07-13-2003, 03:17 PM

I got the following message and cannot get my computer to boot up:

DISK I/O ERROR: STATUS = 00000001 OS LOADER V4.01.

Windows NT could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.

I have two Adaptec SCSI controller cards, and one of them just had a new piece of equipment added to it which may have incorrect SCSI ID number.

Can anyone out there help me on this?

Is your boot partition larger than 7.8 gigabytes?

Yes, BOOT partition was about 9 GB.

Ok, that explains it. You must use a partitioning utility to shrink that down to 7.8 at the most.
