Problems: Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM

bogart1 · 10-01-2005, 11:55 AM

My system keep locking up, so I wiped the harddrive and reloaded WinXP Pro. The software loads but when it reboots to reset the system it says:

Verifying DMI Pool Data ...........
Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM :

That is all it does. It just sits there.

Help

I went into the bios and changed the order. I was able to get the system to come up but only booting from the disk not from the harddrive.

check you can see the h/d in the bios

I checked the bios and it seems to be reading the cd-rom as the primary and the harddrive as the secondary. I tried to get it to reverse but it would not do it. I went so far as to disconnect the cd-rom. Still no luck.

that is because of how the jumpers are set on the drives,try putting the cd on the second eide channel

you are using an 80 wire cable on the h/d?

I check that too. The system was working working before this in the same configuration.
