i hav just got my AMD K6 Rig up n runnin and wanted sum overclocking software on it so i downloaded sum off my other comi and was going to plug the harddrive off the K6 into it to transfer the files over. I slaved it n connected it up then my computer came up with this message : NVIDIA BOOTAGENT, PXE - 2.0 (BUILD 082 V1.82) Copyright (c) 2001 Nvidia Corparation Copyright (c) 1997-200 Intel Corparation PXE-E61: EXITING BOOT AGENT. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER How can i stop this message coming up (it even sez it with no hard drive connected to the mobo) iv looked in bios and cant figure wat it is. Any1 any ideas thanks
Turn off network boot, or 'other' boot options in your BIOS. And check your HDD for correct jumper settings, preferably CS (Cable Select)
all that message means that its either not detecting the boot hard drive or not seeing the boot files on the boot drive. I think your jumpers are set wrong and all you need to do is make sure that you have a master and a slave set up. if you do have it jumpered correctly try putting the hard drive you want as a slave on the second ide channel by itself.
It even does it with the other hard drive took off (i no the jumpers are correct in my master hard drive iv checked that) N ive turned off the network thing off still says insert boot disk really really annoyin as i hav to cum to my friends to post this lol
But if i disable the onboard lan thingi will i still be able use broadband?? N where is it in bios i cant seem to find it
Ummm... is there a floppy in the drive? That sounds like there's a non-bootable floppy in a floppy drive.
Your onboard NIC has nothing to do with your problem, disabling it is useless as it's the single most usefull thing you need (internet?). The problem is that your HDD's are not recognized, so check/swap IDE cables and re-check jumpers on the HDD's. Try them in another PC and see if they are not defective. And if you indeed left a non-bootable floppy in your drive, someone should smack you real good
I checked jumpers there fine i will havto chek my hard drive in my sisters computer. My computter doesnt hav a floppy drive even attatched and never has (and yes floppy seek is disabled). Wat is NIC?
NIC = Network Interface Card (or, in your case, the onboard Network adapter). Check the IDE cables, are they plugged in correctly in the mobo? Also, go into Bios Setup and let bios auto-detect the HDDs and see what it comes up with.
buy an external housing that plugs in via usb, hey its £20 but incredibly usefull i use mine to hot swap files rom comp to comp at home as im not on the network!
had the same problem, check all your cables and jumpers, and reset the CMOS. took me 2hours 2 fix the problem but i lost 240gb of data in the process. but thats was my raid poochin. also change ur IDE cables
Tried that wi no success i will format my computer tonight and if that dunt work ill be very pissed off. Any more ideas?
I have now formatted my hard drive installed windows and still hav had no succes some1s gotta no wats wrong with the dam thing Please more help is needed im getting withdrawl simptoms
I know you have checked your jumpers, but re-check them and re-check them again. If the HD works on another computer, try a different IDE cable, make sure your HD is getting enough power (try another PSU, make sure the plug is seating properly), and look at every single setting on every page of your BIOS (make sure some IDE controller is not turned off the HD is in the Boot sequence etc). Disabling the NIC (network card) in the BIOS will not effect anything after you boot, the OS will still find it and initialize it, if you have a driver for it. The reason people are mentioning your NIC is the error message you showed at first indicates that your BIOS was trying to boot from the network. When you go into set-up, does the BIOS find your HD? If the HD is not showing up in BIOS set-up, I would disconnect and disable everything on the system and move the drive around to different connections. One last thing - what make of BIOS is this? sounds like Phoenix, but I am just guessing from the behavior you have mentioned.
My BIOS is Phoenix, I have unplugged n pluged my hard drive bak in ten times. Ive disabled NIC but now it only comes up with Enter boot disk. (I repaired my windows and hav managed to get into windows this is how im writing this) but wen i restart the same message will cum up and ill hav to repair windows agen just to get in. So that means my hard drive must be in correctly or i wouldn't be able to write this lol. God dam it wats wrong with my gay computer!!
