    HP NETSERVER LH II Non Boot CD Disk
    « on: January 07, 2012, 08:19:43 AM »
    I have a HP NETSERVER LH II, the thing will boot too Netware 4.11.  Thing is that I got this from a radio station an the music was backed up too it.  I need to see if there is anything worth keeping.  Also, I wanted to put a more modern OS on it as well.  However, once I changed it to boot to the disk drive it just launches Netware.  As far as I know you had to have a Server Client to Acess the Server.  Supposeably netware partitons cant be really read in windows.  I was probably going to put a copy of Windows Server 03 on the one drive an store the orginal boot drive

      Appearntly, Hiens Ultimate Boot Disk doesnt work with the unit ether.  Just if anyone else was going to recommend it.

      You have to go into the BIOS 1st and select CDROM as the 1st boot device...
      Course on an old NETSERVER it may not be an option...unless you built the Hirens CD wrong it should be bootable...
      If you simply burned the ISO then thats the issue right there...coupled with the above...

        Why don't you view the contents of the drive with a Linux live CD instead of demolishing the contents by installing Windows?

        There are some Linux versions which can work with NWFS.

              I dont think the drive is set right in the BIOS.  We have another one of these machines at are other location, an I could boot fine from the way I setup the other Hiens disk.

              ***sigh***

              That would mean one of two things...
              The BIOS doesn't support booting to CD 1st...or
              You didn't press F10 to "save changes and exit" when you changed the settings...

                It does support booting to cd's.  The other unit I put knoppix in an would boot then stop.  I did save the changes it went from target 0 to 5.
