Hi there,
I found a very old PC in the basement, cleaned it, replaced the bios battery, and fixed the wrong inserted ram (which was probably the reason why the system was kicked-out in the first place).
The system works now and I could install any operating system, but I have a problem now: There are only SCSI CD drives attached and i can´t boot the bootable Win98 SE CD with that.
The SCSI adapter detects properly the bootable CD and automatically assigns the drive B: to it, but when the system searches for a bootable device at the end of the post-process, no bootable device is found 🙁
Yes, the PC has a floppy drive attached, but I don't have any floppy disks here, so I can´t create a bootable disk. I will try to find some but for the moment, i would prefer to use the bootable Win98 CD.
Is there a way I can boot from the SCSI CDROM drive? What do I need to configure in the BIOS and what on the SCSI Bios?
I don't have the full specs yet, but it's a Pentium II 233 system with 256 MB ram and an Adaptec SCSI controller attached to the motherboard.
On the primary IDE cable, i have attached an SF-Card to the IDE adapter thingy - for an HDD replacement.
Thanks in advance,
Final
