Thanks, but I have neither SCSI controller or LAN image available to me.<br />

Are you saying that Intel motherboards simply can't boot from a ROM?

One other thing, not all O/Ss are capable of booting all CD drives. &nbsp;Ran into this problem myself with Vista64 on an HP ... my work-around was using a SCSI-based CD since CD firmware update for a fix didn't exist &nbsp;

What I'm trying to do is to get the raw H/D platform to boot from CD.

Does anyone happen to know how to get an Intel server board, (an S3200SHV specifically) to boot from CD?<br />
<br />
There is nothing in the BIOS - well, there IS a Boot Manager, but it doesn't see the ROM - although the CD Drive shows up just fine in the installed O/S.<br />
<br />
I have moved the Drive to various SATA ports on the MB without success...

Intel Motherboard boot from CD-ROM

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
