NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hello
I have built a box from an old PC. It has a CD and 2 new WD 200 GB HD's. I have booted up and it is reading the CD I burned, but after a few seconds, it goes to an A prompt and I can't get past that point. It sees two blank HD's as unformatted, which they are. The prompt stops at caldera DOS ver 7.03 and the A>. Any ideas why it is not proceeding? I can't imagine that it is the 2 new unformatted HD's.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

You are not booting from a NASLite CD if you get the A prompt.

Since there are only 2 blank hard drives and a cd drive on this computer, I am sure I am booting from the cd I burned. At the A> prompt, if I use the dir command, there is a short list of files and one of them is an .exe file (I am at home and do not remember the exact name). If I execute that file, I get a screen that looks a lot like yours does in the user guide, except it is in German.

Your A: drive is your CDROM drive?


Also, FYI, a floppy drive is required for NASLite CDD, not in USB.

I have a floppy drive in that box but did not mention it because there was no floppy in it to read from. If the cd drive is A> , how do I proceed to get NASLite installed? I don't see any directions anywhere for this issue.

Thanks

Reburn the installation CD and redo... doesnt sound like you actually burned the NASLite installation CD imo.

I will try that in the morning. Thanks for the help.

Hi trapper99,

Sounds like to me that you have burnt a CD rom thats a boot disk.
Naslite CDD has no *exe files.

i'd locate the correct iso and try again.

It indeed was the burned cd, which seems to be very problematic in a lot of the posts. Thanks to everyone for the help. I am up and running and it is visible on the network. the drives are set up and ready to go. Thanks to all!!!
