Hy

I try booting from pci card raid Ata/ide with hdd ide.
Bios set the entry: boot scsi

this command not work:

find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ntldr
root(hd0,0)
chainloader /ntldr

it's possible booting from pci card raid/ide?


Thanks

Regards

The above does NOT make sense anyway.

You run find --set-root, then you use a FIXED root to (hd0,0)?

And I don't know if it's the translation software you use, but it should be root[SPACE](hd0,0).

YOU MUST START USING COMMAND LINE and POST the feedback grub4dos gives at each issued command!

NO . (meaning that it may be possible if you tell us WHICH card is it, what PC is it, which OS are you running WHERE is grub4dos, etc., etc.)

the operative system is WinXp sp2.

The card is controller raid pci for hdd ide/ata, Silicon Image Sil xxx
Bios is setting, boot sequence: scsi
Bios Ami August 2003

Grub4dos has no command to load operating system from scsi controller?


Thanks

Regards

I'll try again:

With command find grub4dos was found the following hard disk:

hd0, 0
hd0, 1
hd1, 2
hd1, 4

Now try one by one all this entry.

I'll try again, LAST time:


What you should do:
TYPE:

Press [ENTER]
POST WHATEVER grub4dos displays, in the example: (hd0,0)
TYPE:

Press [ENTER]
POST WHATEVER grub4dos displays, in the example: Filesystem type is ntfs partition type 0x07
TYPE:

Press [TAB]
POST WHATEVER grub4dos displays, in the example: Possible files are BOOT.INI cpm.lst floppy.img NTDETECT.COM NTLDR ....
Type NTLDR:

Press [ENTER]
POST WHATEVER grub4dos displays, in the example: Will boot NTLDR from drive=0x80, partition 0x0(hidden sectors=0x3F)

I'll try again, LAST time:


grub>find

hd1,2 /*hdd on controller pci raid Silicon Image Sil 0680 Medley Raid*/

root (hd1,1)
chainloadr /NTLDR -> file not found

root (hd1,1)
chainloader /NTLDR
Will boot NTLDR from drive=0x80, partition 0x0(hidden sectors=0x3F)
boot

Ntdetect hardware detection failed

root (hd1,2)
chainloader /NTLDR
Will boot NTLDR from drive=0x80, partition 0x0(hidden sectors=0x3F)

boot

Ntdetect hardware detection failed

Though you completely failed, again , to do what was suggested, we are one little step further.


This DOES NOT come from grub4dos, it's a problem with NTLDR/NTDETECT.COM.

Do you have a NTBOOTDD.SYS file?

You might want to notice that IF you had done what you were told, i.e.:

I would have ALREADY had the answer to the above question.

It is possible that the RAID card behaves just as a SCSI one.

Or is it possible that it only boots if it is drive 0.

Try:

Or it is possible that grub4dos somehow "confuses" the detection by NTDETECT.COM of the BIOS extension the card provides.
