I an unable to boot my ReactOS cd. I receive the following error message:
Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM :
Press any key to boot from CD.
Detecting hardware...
Invalid partition table magic (0xaa55)
Error Code: 0x0
Error: no error

Some info about my hardware. The drive is an IBM 13.5 GB IDE drive. It
currently has Windows 2000, and Linux on it.
I have a second drive on the computer, currently formatted as FAT32 on
the first partition that I wanted to install ReactOS on.
The computer has an HPT370 IDE RAID controller on it that my drive is
attached to. I did add the NT4 HPT drivers to the CD though.
LILO is on the MBR.
1) I downloaded the latest CVS (09-09-2004) and compiled it using "make".
2) After that finished I typed "make registry" to create any necessary hives.
3) I edited hivesys.inf and added the following lines:
; Highpoint HPT370A driver
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Hpt3xx","ErrorControl",0x00010001,0x00000000
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Hpt3xx","Group",0x00000000,"SCSI
Miniport"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Hpt3xx","ImagePath",0x00020000,"system32\drivers\hpt3xx.sys"
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Hpt3xx","Start",0x00010001,0x00000000
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Hpt3xx","Type",0x00010001,0x00000001
4) I edited txtsetup.sif and added the following line in [SourceFiles]
hpt3xx.sys = 3
5) I added the file hpt3xx.sys to bootcd\disk\reactos\
6) Finally I typed "make bootcd" to create the ISO file. Burned the CD
and restarted my computer with this cd in the drive.
If anyone can help me thanks..
I've been having this exact same error message since ReactOS 0.2.2
Thanks in advance,
