: : : : : : Looking for a boot disk for a Packard Bell Legend 110CDT. Unit crashed and can not reboot it with start up disk I have. Doesn't reconize CD Drive.
: : : : : :
: : : : : : Type of drive:
cd-rom (reader only)
: : : : : : Location:
internal
: : : : : : What recording software are you using?:
Other (Other: ?)
: : : : : Optical drives do not have "other" interfaces. They have IDE, SCSI, or proprietary interfaces. Please state what type of interface your drive has.
: : : : I believe it's IDE, the CD is pluged into the sound card?
: : : If it's IDE, then the drive will have Master/Slave jumpers. Does it? If no Master/Slave jumpers are present, your drive is proprietary interface.
: : : Any bootdisk will boot an atapi compliant drive... the fact that it doesn't strongly indicates you have a proprietary interface.
: : It has a Master, I've tried about six different boot disk and NONE will boot the machine.
: Ok, now that we've established what type of interface your drive has, we need answers for the following:
: 1: Is the drive connected to the secondary ide port (on the sound card)? or does this sound card only have ONE ide port?
: 2: Is it the only drive connected to that port?
: 3: Is the striped side of the ide ribbon cable connected to pin 1 of the drive and ide controller port header?
: 4: Does the boot disk contain the following files? oakcdrom.sys and mscdex.exe
: 5: What are the command lines present in autoexec.bat and config.sys on the boot floppy?
: 6: Is your pc bios set to boot from the floppy disk first?
: 7: Does your system have other IDE ports (like built in primary and secondary ide ports) (are there any drives connected to the built-in ide secondary port)? If it does, then you should be using the secondary ide port to connect the drive to instead of the controller card or disable the existing secondary ide port (built in) before attempting to use the ide controller port on your sound card.
1. Sound card has one IDE port.
2. YES
3. I believe so, but will make sure & let you know if not.
4.I'll have to ck. and let you know. I think not.
