Start Up

[Ufuk Yavaser]

I have a Sony PC with Pre-Installed XP Home Edition. Two
Months ago I Installed a Sony DVDRW. Since than I have
had some start up issue. I'm not sure if this is releated
or not. When Power up the PC I get a Message " Insert
Boot Disk to Continue" Some times it will Say Choose F1
to Continue or F2 to Continue with Set-up.


Any Ideas?

Thanks

Ufuk

When you installed the DVDRW, did you set the jumper pin on drive to Master, it will also help if you put the drive on your secondary IDE port usually (1), & your system disk (C) with the OS on it on the primary IDE port (0).

Summary:

1st configuration:

System drive on IDE (0) as Master
DVDRW on IDE (1) as Master

or if you have just the one cable (might be slower):

2nd configuration:

System drive on IDE (0) as Master
DVDRW on IDE (0) as slave

My PC had two drives, I removed the CDR & installed the

DVDRW with the same pin configuration.

Is your PC set to boot first from the CD drive in the bios? If so, and
you are leaving a disk in the drive you can get messages such as that.
