Intel Server Board SE7520AF2 no boot after config
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:03 pm
OK, I got this board new out of the box. I installed it, dropped in 2 Xeon's and booted off my Server 2003 CD. I got the OS installed and logged into the server. I then tried to install the chipset drivers off the Intel CD. When I rebooted, the server booted off the Intel CD. At that point, a server configuration utility started. I followed along, answered some questions and a LOT of "writing" took place in a DOS window. My server then told me if I was ready to install an OS, to insert the CD and reboot.
At that point, I expected Windows server 2003 to start and it tried. I got to the Windows Server 2003 splash screen and the progreee indicator went across a few times then it froze.
When I try to re-OS, it freezes before I get to the license agreement, at the "Windows is starting" screen.
I can't get past the splash screen and I cant re-OS. I reset the CMOS and still no joy.
IS there a way to reset the board to factory defaults? Is there a way to undo what I did when I ran the config utility? I'm at a loss...
Thanks
