Can't boot from DVD
Hi. Have I got some kind of motherboard virus or something. I do have
kaspersky. I can't get my PC to boot of either of my DVD drives. I have disconnected one and tried that. They do work and one is brand new. Auto insert works fine. Can't remember last time I needed it. Thanks Desmond. |

You might need to go into the motherboard BIOS settings and place one of the DVD's as the first boot device in the boot order list, ahead of any hard drive(s). On some BIOS removing the hard drive from the BIOS list of boot devices entirely can force the motherboard to look for other devices to boot from, like the DVD. |

I have got in the bios Quick boot enabled Boot sequence SATA DVD Floppy HDD I had an IDE and a SATA DVD. I switched them around. Now I only have the SATA. The sequence is correct. I just don't understand this. |

How about testing with only the DVD drives connected ? Maybe the BIOS is doing something with the hard drive during POST, which allows the virus to do it's thing. If that works, then perhaps the hard drive can be placed in a USB enclosure, and the USB enclosure plugged in a second after the DVD starts to boot. For example, you could try that with the Gentoo based Kav 10 disc. This can also be transferred to a USB stick. http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208282163 Paul |

Cheers! -- Graham Website -http://www.thedeathzone.free-online.co.uk Main board is an Asus M2V MX SE Don’t have raid set. Don’t know what “Do you have the SATA controllers set to IDE or Standard mode?” means Could this be a virus as my detector didn’t pull up anything? Don’t think it could be a virus. Could it do something like this? How about testing with only the DVD drives connected? Maybe the BIOS is doing something with the hard drive during POST, which allows the virus to do it's thing. Maybe this is the solution. Could this happen? I see the LED flashing at boot up then stopping. |

Take the hard drive completely out of the boot list until after you have restored things using the DVD. Not having it in the boot list will not keep the computer from allowing the programs loaded from the DVD from finding it or reloading to it. After things are reloaded, then add the hard drive back into the boot list. |

Can you connect the HDD to a USB adapter ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812816014 Can you plug in the HDD, *after* the DVD starts to boot, using the USB adapter. If you get the timing right, perhaps the software on the DVD, will "see" the hard drive. If the hard drive was SATA, you could also consider an ESATA approach, as that support hot plugging of drives. So that would be an alternative, if the thing you're attempting to do, doesn't like the drive when USB connected. ESATA enclosure, with it's own SATA to ESATA plate, ESATA cable, power adapter and so on. Set the BIOS for the SATA port to AHCI perhaps. http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/17-145-167-S04?$S640W$ http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/17-145-167-S05?$S640W$ In other words, find a way to connect the hard drive, after the DVD has started to boot...
