Solve : IDE SATA conflict prevent boot cds..? |
|
Answer» HELLO all few days ago, i deleted an ntoskrnl.exe from system32 by mistake which TURNED out to be not the wisest of choices cuz it was required to boot the system..anyway,to avoid reformatting the whole system,am trying to MAKE a DOS boot cd from which i can copy the boot files that might have been deleted. So i went on to download and burnt a boot cd( http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm) and then RESTARTED the PC *censored* the cd didnt boot (it gave me this error www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?b47aaa1b02.jpg ) i have read somewhere in the internet that a mixture of IDE(my DVD writer) and SATA(my 80 gb hard disk) drives causes conflict and this was evident with my attempt to create a Norton Ghost 2003 image when I had to add a -NOIDE command befor building the image to avoid the conflict. The result ofcourse was that in DOS mode, Ghost couldnt see my DVD drive and was able to detect only SATA hard drive. So my question is, what should i do to create a working bootable DOS cd?What OS ? ? Do you have your Windows CD ? ? You need to get things running properly before Ghosting the drive or you will wind up with a useless image of things and still have the same issues. Do you have a previous Ghost image ? ?-it is win xp sp2 -yes i have one..but i need the boot cd to access DOS for a faster process. -i already have a working ghost image patio. No issues with that. The problem i had(which i luckily solved) was this ( http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-xp-support/230835-ghost-2003-boot-dvd-rw.html ) ..This is not though my problem. It is the creation of a boot cd that wouldnt produce the error in the pic and would allow me to use DOS FREELY .. |
