  1. Hi VaKo: Yes, I forgot to include that. I went to Intel's site and updated the BIOS by downloading a ISO and booting from the CD drive. And the BIOS update was successful. Thanks for the comment on the post. I'm just trying to get this issue resolved and wanted to give you all the information I had. Any Ideas? Thanks, Mike
  2. Hi Sparda: Thanks for the quick response. I have already tested the adapter in another computer and didn't have an issue with it working, it worked fine. And I tried a IDE cable that I knew was good, hoping that it just wanted to be connected through a cable, but no such luck. I used the CF in another situation and it worked fine. I did however swap out my CF card from my digital camera and tested it and I have same result. Not working. Here's the dedicated computer's specs: Intel Pentium D 2.66 GHz Processor 1 GB DDR2 PC3200 Memory x4 500 GB Seagate SATA 7200 RPM Hard Drives Syba IDE to CF Adapter Kingston 512 MB CF Card 600 Watt Power Supply All the parts were purchased through NewEgg for this project. All parts are new. When I originally installed FreeNAS, I booted the computer to the CD drive and installed the FreeNAS OS to the CF card. So I know the computer sees the CF card. The problem is the BIOS doesn't seem to recognize it to boot from. I checked all the cables and all are secured. I also reformatted the CF card and installed FreeNAS using the tool within Windows and it still won't boot. When I boot up I get the following message: Intel Boot Agent v4.1.17 PXE-E61: Media Test failure, check cable. PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent. My Current Boot Order: 1) Hard Drive 2) Ethernet 3) CD Drive 4) Floppy Drive I have already tried removing all SATA drives and then booting without success. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike
  3. I built my FreeNAS box but it won't seem to boot from the CF card which was inserted into a IDE to CF adapter. The BIOS doesn't recognize that there's anything in the IDE slot. I changed the boot order for booting from Hard Drive first, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
