Well, i've upgraded the bios from 1005 to 1008....

[Carlos Arruda]

Sorry mate but thats in portuguese the pics and i can assure you that i do
know how to see hidden files and there's non on the c:\ and it does boots
mate.
No, i am not a wind-up merchant and if i did wind you up i do apologise
myself, i am sorry.
I´ll tell what then, i´ll let you do a remote to my pc, what have you got???
MSN, pcanywhere, name it and then you will see that there's no hidden files
under c:\ in my both pcs, honestly.
But that doesn´t really matters now, its working and thats waht i wanted.
Once more i am sorry if i did wind you up.
Best Regards
Carlos Arruda

P.S.: The hidden files are there to see, and you can see one under the
c:\windows the inf one. So, as you can see i can see the hidden files and
under c:\ there is no hidden files at all.
Check third pic from left top row.

Carlos,

If you are a wind-up merchant then you are one of the best.

The images you show CLEARLY SHOW that you have the WRONG button
pushed/highlighted in your WINDOWS EXPLORER/TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/VIEW
control panel.

Yes, you do!

Now, go away and change it so that it DOES SHOW the hidden files.

J.

Hello mate.
Honestly.
I am not a professional even though i do some networking works for some
school and companies and i am in this ever sence i was 18 years.
Know i am 26 (30/06/77) and i assume i don´t know much of booting and stuff
from windows but i do know what you mean bye saing hidden and believe

me,

i
know where to check that and get to see them and believe me, those files do
not existe in both PCs i have with Windows XP.
The only files that's there is the boot.ini in the c:\windows\pss.
Nor the ntldr our the ntdetect.com are there on my pcs mate.
I don´t know if its because of this, it shouldn´t be, but my windws xp its
in portuguesse.
Don´t take me wrong mate, i am not trying to call you anything but its the
truth i am telling you mate.
Anyway, just wanna to tell you and everybody that it was great all the help
you guys tryed to provide and i am happy for that guys.
Thanks alot for the precious help.
Best Regards
Carlos Arruda

NTLDR and NTDETECT.com

If you can't see them they are hidden. If they weren't there you PC would
not boot. Glad it is working. Now, take my advice - switch the PC off,
unplug it, put it in a cupboard and never touch it again!

J.


Hello everybody.... I AM HAPPY.

I'm not new in the computer world but yes i am new around SCSI.
Have been working with SCSI like for 2 months now.
I have told some of you guys that have asked me, that i had no bios acess
to
this SCSI card in order to setup properly.
But now i do have the option to setup it (CTRL+A) and there you go.
I had upgraded the SCSI Card BIOS and now i have acess to its BIOS thank
Good.
Now everything is working properly but still there's something that its
bothering me.
Some of you said that without the boot.ini, NTLDR and NTDETECT.com the
system wouldn't boot up.
Well i have run a full searche and nothing has come up and its not hiden
as
well.
But then again, everything is working fine know.
The SCSI bios was version 2.52.0 and now its 3.10.0.
THANKS ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR THE TIME SPENT WITH ME.
BEST REGARDS
CARLOS ARRUDA
If i can help you guys in the future just ask cause if i can i will.





Well, it didn't work first time so install the proper drivers..

and
make

sure your BIOS is seeing the car before you begin the install!!!!!!!!!!



Hello mate.
I have instaled windows xp like always do.
About the SCSI drives at the begining of instalation i have don it
once
and
the system told me that the windows xp suporte that device and that
was
recomended to keep windows drivers for it.
Well i'll give it another go and lets see whats gonna happend.
Cheers mate
Carlos Arruda

Thanks for your time and all of you guys out there truing to help

ME will NOT see any drive because ME uses FAT/FAT32 and XP uses
NTFS5
and
ME
knows nothing about NTSF5 - so don't waste your time there.

Well, it sounds to me as if you did a bl**dy awful install of
Windows
XP
and
you are going to have no other choice but to install it again.

You MUST have your driver for your SCSI Controller and VERY

EARLY

in
the
Windows XP install you will be asked to press F6 if you want to
install
additional drivers - it comes up and goes quickly so you have

to
be

ready
for it - at which point you press F6, place a floppy with your SCSI
Controller driver in and then carry on with the XP install.

So, go do a fresh install.

No mate.
I dont have any of them in the scsi disk.
One thing more is that i've used a boot cd from ME OS and

up
i

If you can't see those files in your C:\ root then either
you

you

To UNHIDE these files - in order to see if they are there -
go
to
Windows

Well, there's a problem for a start.

Your boot.ini is correct in its wording for a

Windows

XP
install
on
the
first partition of your first drive but it is

located

in
the
wrong
place.
It
MUST be in your C:\ root and MUST be called boot.ini

You have a spare in your C:\Windows\Pss folder but

it

is
CLEARLY
labelled
as
boot.ini.backup

Do you have 'Hidden Files And Folders' hidden???

If
you

do
then
your
boot.ini in your C:\ root will be hidden. Can you see
other
files
in
your
C:\ root such as Config.sys, Autoexec.bat, NTLDR,
NTDETECT.com?

off,

unplug it, put it in a cupboard and never touch it again!

Hello everybody.... I AM HAPPY.

I'm not new in the computer world but yes i am new around SCSI.
Have been working with SCSI like for 2 months now.
I have told some of you guys that have asked me, that i had no bios
acess
to
this SCSI card in order to setup properly.
But now i do have the option to setup it (CTRL+A) and there

you
go.

I had upgraded the SCSI Card BIOS and now i have acess to its BIOS
thank
Good.
Now everything is working properly but still there's something that
its
bothering me.
Some of you said that without the boot.ini, NTLDR and NTDETECT.com
the
system wouldn't boot up.
Well i have run a full searche and nothing has come up and its not
hiden
as
well.
But then again, everything is working fine know.
The SCSI bios was version 2.52.0 and now its 3.10.0.
THANKS ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR THE TIME SPENT WITH ME.
BEST REGARDS
CARLOS ARRUDA
If i can help you guys in the future just ask cause if i can i will.





Well, it didn't work first time so install the proper drivers..
and
make
sure your BIOS is seeing the car before you begin the
install!!!!!!!!!!

ME will NOT see any drive because ME uses FAT/FAT32 and XP
uses
NTFS5
and
ME
knows nothing about NTSF5 - so don't waste your time there.

Well, it sounds to me as if you did a bl**dy awful

install
of

Windows
XP
and
you are going to have no other choice but to install it again.

You MUST have your driver for your SCSI Controller and VERY
EARLY
in
the
Windows XP install you will be asked to press F6 if you want
to
install
additional drivers - it comes up and goes quickly so you have
to
be
ready
for it - at which point you press F6, place a floppy

with
your

SCSI
Controller driver in and then carry on with the XP install.

So, go do a fresh install.

Your System will not boot if you do not have a

boot.in,

an
NTLDR
and
and
NTDETECT.com file in your C:\ root. Do a search to

see
if

you
have
them
anywhere else on your system.

If you do copy them to C:\

If you can't see those files in your C:\ root then
either
you
have
them
hidden or you don't have them. If you don't have them
then
you
ain't
going
to boot into Windows.

To UNHIDE these files - in order to see if they are
there -
go
to
Windows
Explorer\TOOLS\FOLDER OPTIONS\VIEW and select SHOW
HIDDEN
FILES
AND
FOLDERS
and then click on APPLY and OK. You should now

see
all

those
files
in
your
C:\

If they are not there then copy them from you PSS
folder
but
don't
forget
to
remove the .BACKUP ending to them all.

Hello.
Hidden files and folders yes but as normal,

just
for

system
files.
Yes, that boot.ini is a backup like boot.ini.backup.
Strange but no, i can't see them in c:\ the files
config
and
autoexec,
ntldr
and ntdetect.com.
It feels like were close to the error?
Please say yes.
Thanks mate for your time.
Hope to get this done really soon.

Well, there's a problem for a start.

Your boot.ini is correct in its wording for a
Windows
XP
install
on
the
first partition of your first drive but it is
located
in
the
wrong
place.
It
MUST be in your C:\ root and MUST be called
boot.ini

You have a spare in your C:\Windows\Pss

folder
but

it
is
CLEARLY
labelled
as
boot.ini.backup

Do you have 'Hidden Files And Folders' hidden???
If
you
do
then
your
boot.ini in your C:\ root will be hidden.

Can
you

see
other
files
in
your
C:\ root such as Config.sys, Autoexec.bat, NTLDR,
NTDETECT.com?

fwiw it sounds like you might be trying to boot from
scsi (check the bios) which make the scsi disc "c:\"
i've done that once or twice with my ata-raid card
if that doesn't fit, have you tried the recovery console?
"bootcfg /r" rebuilds the "boot.ini"
