    X3500 (7977) "operating system not found"... Part-2 (Win2008 Server)

    Okay - I have solved the problem(s) - with the help of "you" - indeed I am grateful. Hopefully this will be of use to others who may have a "operating system not found" error with Win 2008 Server (and possibly/probably Vista, Windows 7, ...) The software/boot problem was due to the system...

    X3500 (7977) "operating system not found"... Part-2 (Win2008 Server)

    This is a follow-up to my previous post regarding some issues with booting my X3500 - principally that I suddenly cannot boot Windows 2008. Some (concurrent) hardware/firmware issues were solved in my previous post and I am beginning to think this may in fact be a software/Windows issue. Of...

    X3500 (7977) "operating system not found"...

    X3500 (7977) "operating system not found"...

    First - thank you for the (good) suggestion... Regarding the 1801 "no more room for ROM" error - I truly am baffled (e.g. why is this suddenly happening now?). I did try to get into the BIOS/setup and disable/restart the "banks" per your link (I tried all six enabled <- normal/default, all six...

    X3500 (7977) &quot;operating system not found&quot;...

    I'm thoroughly baffled... (please bear through my diatribe) I'm running Windows 2008 Server on an IBM X3500 (7977-AC1). All was working fine and I didn't touch/change anything. A few more details: The X3500 has a ServRaid 8K (<- Adaptec) controller with qty=8 identical IBM HDs organized in 4...
