SCSI Error

Terry · Sep 17, 2004

Hi all.

I'm trying to boot by SCSI HDD.
I added about the SCSI components.

SCSI and RAID controller
Device: SCSIAdapter
SCSI Port Driver
etc..

But I saw the error during first boot.

error massage:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration
problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk
hardware.
Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and
your hardware reference manuals for additional information"

My SCSI Controller is Adaptec AIC-7901 Ultra320 SCSI Controller

Does anybody know how to solve this problem ?

Terry,

The first obvious question - did you set up boot.ini ARC path properly?

Do you have Default value there?

Since it is SCSI boot, you should not use "multi" in the ARC path but "scsi"
(most likely scsi(0) in your case).

You will also need Ntbootdd.sys at the root directory.
