Hello nice forum you guys have here

Here is something i just got on EBAY!

I wish to install Windows 2003 server on this system. So far I have


Used the SmartStartCD 5.5 and installed the BIOS.
I have set up the raid0 array and i have created a logical drive.
I have chaged the boot order in the newly installed BIOS to go to CD first.

When i place my Win 2K3 server cd in the drive i get a non system disk error
I can place the same disc in my XP home machine and i get no trouble booting. The smartstartcd boots fine.

Why is the windows CD not booting?

Thanks for taking time reading my post

The cd is probably not bootable.

it is. I have used it on other machines. and just tested it on this machine and it boots fine.. any other ideas?
