EMERGENCY P4P800 won't boot NT server
Hi!
Sorry for being dramatic, but our server is down due to a mainboard failure and the replacement board won't boot up. Here are the details: NT 4.0 Server on IDE harddisk connected to a P4P800 board. The disk is detected correctly and is set as the primary boot device. The partition is intact, the disk will boot correctly on another system. But the board will just not recognize it's bootable and advises me to reset and set another boot device. A disk containing Windows 2000 / XP dual boot is recognized correctly. I'm at a loss... And I have to have the system back up by tomorrow morning :-) Thank you for your ideas! Best regards, Martin |

Best regards, Martin Onboard IDE Operate Mode [Enhanced] for Win2K/WinXP Onboard IDE Operate Mode [Compatible] for previous OS Select a Compatible mode, Save and Exit, then reenter BIOS and set up the Boot Order, as with the AMI BIOS, you are forever reconfiguring the Boot Order. Also check for a HAL mismatch. Maybe something in the Power Menu is affecting the boot ? ACPI 2.0 Support [No] ACPI APIC Support [Enabled] Just a guess, Paul |

I got it running - it was a combination of two problems. I already tried "compatible" setting, but this didn't work either when I had a Promise Raid controller in the system with disks connected. Without disks connected, now the NT disk got identified correctly. After plugging the Promise controller into the lowermost slot, the system boots fine. Best regards, Martin |
