True Image and VIA KLE chipset motherboard

videobruce · March 11th, 2009, 01:40 PM

Using V11 of True Image (bootable CD) on a VIA KLE133 based MB, the normal first screen that allows you to select the software isn't there. There is nothing to make it load the program from a optical drive. All I see is a black DOS screen with some text.

Is this some issue with the chipset or something else? The MB is HP/Asus. BTW, this MB has on board video (Trident) if that matters and the optical drive I just used to load XP.

"Some text"? What is the text?

Make the CD once more. Under the Startup Parameters option (second step), add this line:

ACPI=OFF NOAPIC

Test that CD.

I tried the other optical drive. Works fine. The mesage I received was:

Quote:

Boot drive partition not found.

This was on a Creative DVD player. The other drive is a LG burner.

What happened??

I'm not sure. Do you have to select a specific CD drive to boot from in CMOS?

The Bios had no problem seeing the drive, it's the same one that I loaded the O/S from with little or no issue.
Didn't some older CD drives have some issues running a bootable porgram? IOW's they didn't work or had problem with using them to boot from?

This is a system from 2000.
