supernovafan Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Sounds like it's going to network boot. So it's not recognizing the HD or the boot partition on the HD. Check your BIOS to make sure your MB supports booting off USB.

DFrey Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 How do I check this once I am looking at the Bios? Or to check if the MZB supports an external USB harddrive, if not, what else could I possibly do, it has a firewire but it wont connect to my computer, is there an adapter?
