No, it's the BIOS itself. Let me see if I can compare the HDAMA-revG 2.17 and 2.18 BIOSes and see if anything jumps out.
Hi Guys, I would just like to say a LARGE and completely sincere Thank You to all who have participated in this thread. Without your help I would not have got my HDAMA-G Rackable systems box up and running with a custom install of Windows Home Server (Vail - 64bit beta release - based on Server 2008). Cheers!
Before I build you an ISO image, which Opteron processors do you have? Are you interested in PowerNow support?
i used magic iso to burn the bios iso onto a cd-rw no luck its not booting iv made bootable disks before is there anything else i need/did wrong?
Download ImgBurn and use that to burn...perhaps MagicISO made it multi-session or didn't close the disc.
Do you have a USB thumb drive? If so use that. Format and make it bootable using the HP format tool. You will need some windows 98 boot files as well. Think you can get them from bootdisk.com Then just set your bios to boot from USB drive first.
checked on bootdisk.com couldnt see what file to use and just wondering what makes hp format tool diffrent?
Make sure the ISO image didn't get corrupted. If you install HashTab, you can easily check the MD5 or SHA-1 or SHA-256 checksums. Checksums for HDAMAG_BIOS_218.ISO Code: MD5 C3BC5F1497BA3649C1918C062D5F1D48 SHA-1 F783CE1DBCBCF867AD5E4B3DCBA7F0635B4CF2A1 SHA-256 6F9F005BEAC37FFCD4200CE6E1EBC9CE5EE90091431569A62C450BB35F1F3CC2
No Imissed it, Thanks I will try when i get into work on monday. I hope it works. Will report back and let you know how it goes. thanks again.
i used hashtab this is what i got CRC32: D6CF9592 MD5: 4AAC0A5F7D71F062D0B394882754E1E8 SHA-1: FC9C59743DC1D0B40AD38425DBD1E8AFDDD7CCBA
