Unable to load CD-ROM DOS Driver (ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe)

[ZerO]

I'm having a very strange problem with my Asus A7N8X Deluxe (nForce2) motherboard. I want to boot into DOS with CDRom support using a bootdisk but I keep getting the message saying that the driver file is missing or corrupt but it isn't because the same bootdisk works fine in 3 other computers. See pics below:

At first I thought the floppy drive was bad so I swapped it with the drives from my other computers that the bootdisk worked fine on. Same problem. Also swapped out the CDROM with the others. Still won't load driver. I double-checked the BIOS and both floppy and cdrom are detected correctly. They also work perfectly in windows.

I've made 6 different bootdisks (pre-packaged bootdisk downloads I found with google and ones I made manually from a Win98 machine) and none of them work on the A7N8X but loads no problem on other PCs.

It's not a problem with the CDROM, Floppy Drive, or Bootdisk so that means it's the motherboard?? I've spent almost 6 hours trying to figure out the problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

i think its because its a Nforce 2 chipset and the IDE wasnt recognised by the startup disk, i think i had a problem with a SOLTEK NForce 2 board and if im not sure there are boot disks now available that will allow u to boot though.

Have a look on Bootdisk.com
