Having this problem for some time I have been able to error loading operating system server 2003 do a bit of research on the topic. This problem most often will occur when one is trying to install a new OS, the message will appear during the reboot portion of setup. I, however, had been running this system two years with no prior problems. When this was the case, for other people, the HD was often corrupted, damaged, old. After running several scans on my HD, I ruled out this possibility after failing to find the slightest error. Going on the possibility that the
Error Loading Operating System Windows 8
Windows installation may be corrupted (Note: I can boot Windows off a floppy disk, made to boot Windows XP) i tried the FixBoot and FixMBR functions on my install disk. No luck. I installed a working version of BartPE on my HD, and I got the same result when I tried to load that instead of Windows, this makes me think that the problem is not with the Windows installation. Just to be on the safe side though, i did a repair installation of Windows, no luck, upon restart I was confronted with the same message. Well, I figured, the problem must be with the BIOS. So I flashed it (the equivalent, in this case, of replacing the current BIOS with an updated version). Well, the new version came with a nice menu for booting options, but it didn't solve my problem, I still received the same error message. I was out of ideas until a ran across a solution. In other cases I found, the BIOS would be reading the HD with the wrong geometry. So if the HD on the BIOS was set to CHC, and the HD should be read as LBA, it would not work. I thought this must be it. I went into BIOS setup and discovered that there were two options: AUTO and LARGE. Currently it was set to AUTO. So I changed to LARGE. And....... it didn't work. I changed it back to AUTO, to no avail. So I removed the HD from the BIOS setup (changed IDE1 to

Solved Error Loading Operating System SAS6/iR RAID 1 Posted on 2012-07-12 SBS Storage Hardware Server Hardware 2 Verified Solutions 19 Comments 2,925 Views Last error loading Modified: 2012-07-15 I have a Dell PowerEdge T100 running SBS 2003 with a SAS6/iR controller card configured to RAID 1. Startup fails with "error loading operating system". I wanted to run a chkdsk so I started up using the SBS 2003 installation disk. When I selected Recovery Console it tells me that setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. During post (see error loading operating attached) it starts the SAS 6 Host Bus Adapter BIOS.....searches for devices and locates the Dell Virtual Disk at HBA 2. It then tells me MPT boot ROM successfully installed I checked the SAS configuration utility and it shows the adapter, it shows both drives, and it lists the RAID status as optimal.

I want to dual boot XP, so I started to install it and, when it rebooted, got the "Error loading operating system" message, which was expected since XP wipes out other MBRs. No biggie, I can just boot to a prompt using the Win7 disc and fix it there, right?Nope.When I try that I get "Press any key to boot from CD" and then a blank screen with nothing but a flashing cursor. ::sigh:: Okay, so let's boot using the USB drive I installed Win7 from.Nope.When I do that I get "Error loading operating system" again. WTF?So, anyone know how I can fix this because right now I have a computer whose only function is BIOS tweaking. RobL777 Ars Tribunus Angusticlavius Tribus: SouthEastern U.S.A. Registered: Sep 22, 2008Posts: 9074 Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:14 pm BIOS tweaking may be just what the doctor ordered, at least partly. Change the boot order so that BIOS looks in the CD drive first, then goes from there. This should allow the Win 7 repair CD to work, if you quickly "Press any key..." after the POST. You may have to use the Win 7 repair disc several times in a row in order to retrieve your Win 7 install. It is still true that you want to install older Windows operating sy
