NT boot problem

by shanghai sam . Updated 24 years, 8 months ago

I know there have been other questions on this issue, but here it goes:

My NT4 client work station will not boot from the SCSI hard disk anymore. I can boot from floppy, and everything works fine. I’ve tried copying the files off the floppy, but no luck. Someone suggested installing NT in a different directory to make the disk bootable again. Could someone give me more info on this? I have the NT CD from which I can boot fine, but it won’t recognize the SCSI drive. I type “S” and put afloppy in to load the driver to add the to the list on screen, but when I try to continue, setup tells me it didn’t find hard disks.

System info: Intergraph single-CPU system with Symbios Logic PCI 53c895 SCSI adapter, which has one IBM DNES-309170W hard disk attached to it. C: drive is FAT, and D: is NTFS. BIOS looks ok to me, and the SCSI is recognized just fine during system startup.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Meg.
