[cisco-voip] Rebuild UNITY Bootsector

[Norton, Mike]

You almost certainly need to "F6" and give Windows Setup a floppy with the SATA controller driver. Without a driver for the disk controller, it's not going to see any disks. It's unlikely that Windows 2000 has a built-in driver for your SATA controller (did SATA even exist that long ago?).

unfortunately with win2k disk and option to repar, i get (paraphrasing) "no hard drives were found in this system".  the disk is found in BIOS and at bootup.

The bootsector can be repaired using  the operating system disk (w2k/w3k disk from Microsoft), running the setup program and choosing the option to do a Repair (instead of a new installation). In the Rapir menu there is an option to repair the boot environment.

Have you thought about a utility that will check the MBR?

In past, I've gotten 2 systems back up with the win2k (once with the
WinXP CD) recovery console and the chkdsk option... like the BSOD
message saids to try to do.

However, there were 2-3 systems I could not get the chkdsk, and other
stuff to fix it and a rebuild was needed then restore from backup
(hopefully you have one).
