Bootable disk?

[NewUser-Kingfish]

Hi
I am trying to copy an image of our old server to a new one. The config
of the new server is very different, while both have a RAID 1, the old server
is an SCSI RAID1 config while the new box uses a SATA RAID 1.

The old server does not have a CD burner so I used diskettes and
created bootable diskette. Know I have the most current version.

When I boot the new server (with the SATA RAID 1), I get as far
as the third disk when the new server gives me an read error.
Thinking the disk was bad I tried a differant box, this one a workstation
running Wind 2000 Pro, it reads the third disk with out any problems.

After reading through the forums about the issues with SATA drives
and controller, I have concerns that this is the issue. The new server
is a Poweredge 700 with the CERC 6 channel SATA RAID Controller,
and the HD are Maxtor 80 gig brand. Am I screwed here or what?

Really need a fix as I have to get this new server live by next week.

Thanks
Kingfish

Come on guys, someone has to have an idea. Open to ideas has to
why the new server will not read that third disk but two other boxes
will.

It's just possible that the read/write head of the floppy in the new server is slightly out of line. Install the floppy disk drive from the old server into the new server and try again.

You haven't said but can we assume that you're using the "server" version of TI (what version and build number)?

Hi

Thank you! Will try that idea on the dsik drive. Yes, I have TI 8.0 Server for
Windows. Will have to see which build.

Thanks again
