Well, i've upgraded the bios from 1005 to 1008....

and still have the booting problem from SCSI card.
I have this error when i turn on or boot the pc.:

Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot
device and press a Key

Nothing alse then this and i am getting crazy with this, my dear MSI Mobos,
never given me any problems....

Remember guys, it does boot from the SCSI Card if i put the windows XP
instalation CD on the second boot device=Cd-Rom..

sorry,

It boots from SCSI Card if the windows XP cd-rom is in the second boot
device and i do not hit any key to boot from the cd-rom, i just ignore it.

Any help?

Thanks

Hi,
SCSI card BIOS enabled and configured?
Configured system BIOS boot sequence to boot from SCSI?

Out of interest, when you have the XP CD in the drive and you are asked to
hit a key to boot what happens if you do hit a key - I assume it will take
you into the XP install?

Can you paste what you have in your C:\Boot.ini file as well?

your from the UK so you better hope your MSI mobo doesnt give you any
troubles
as MSI DO NOT TAKE BACK PRODUCTS UNDER WARRANTY IN THE UK..
to get around this they have an "Undocumented" warranty change, the uk
warranty goes from 3 years to 1 year, and during the first year they REQUIRE
it to be returned via their reseller...

That's appalling info to learn of but another reason why I no longer buy
MSI.

Hello.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect

But the boot.ini file its not in C:\ but in c:\windows\pss.
When i have that from the windows xp cd rom in the boot, yes, if i hit it it
goes to the set up.

Any other ideia?

Thanks

Hello.
Hidden files and folders yes but as normal, just for system files.
Yes, that boot.ini is a backup like boot.ini.backup.
Strange but no, i can't see them in c:\ the files config and autoexec, ntldr
and ntdetect.com.
It feels like were close to the error?
Please say yes.
Thanks mate for your time.
Hope to get this done really soon.
Best Regards
Carlos Arruda

Well, there's a problem for a start.

Your boot.ini is correct in its wording for a Windows XP install on the
first partition of your first drive but it is located in the wrong place.
It
MUST be in your C:\ root and MUST be called boot.ini

You have a spare in your C:\Windows\Pss folder but it is CLEARLY labelled
as
boot.ini.backup

Do you have 'Hidden Files And Folders' hidden??? If you do then your
boot.ini in your C:\ root will be hidden. Can you see other files in your
C:\ root such as Config.sys, Autoexec.bat, NTLDR, NTDETECT.com?
