| 1109166 | 2010-06-19 01:11:00 | You need to get into the BIOS and set it so boot from CD is the first option. Don't type anything just press the enter key. If the CD is bootable it should boot. So what did you use to burn the ISO? You should not have needed to extract the files. You could try typing "Yes" as it's asking a question I suppose. |

| 1109169 | 2010-06-19 01:25:00 | Ok, yes I used the windows cd burning program, when I went to save the files to the cd it came up automatically so i just let it do its thing. When it finished the logo on the drive changed to what looked like cogs with the word Boot on. Yes I have set it in the BIOS first boot cd rom LL |

| 1109171 | 2010-06-19 01:32:00 | So I beleive the CD is not, in fact bootable then. Install IMG Burn. Then Burn the ISO using that. |

| 1109172 | 2010-06-19 01:55:00 | Just downloaded HDAT2 and booted off it. Choose option 4 "Load all drivers". I had to plug in a PS2 keyboard so I could type commands so I guess there is no USB Keyboard support in spite of the fact that I have legacy USB enabled in the BIOS. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 1109173 | 2010-06-19 02:00:00 | Just to note the CD version comes with 2 versions, the older program which is in (IIRC) X:\hdat2\v453\hdat2.exe - this is the one to use. The new 4.7.1 version will run but only in demo mode so does not actually do anything. I don't think you need to load all drivers unless you have USB\SCSI etc connected drives |
