Hello everyone, I am using the UBCD 5.0.2. I generally use it for memtesting which was the purpose of my recent use but I seem to be having an unexpected issue. When I removed the cd and rebooted the computer to go back to windows the system keeps trying to boot to the cd. I get a message that looks like this:
NVIDIA Boot Agent 249.0542
Copyright ..... NVIDIA Corp
Copyright ..... Intel Corp
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent.
This message pops up about 4 or 5 times then decides it is infact not going to be able to boot to the cd and a new line pops up saying:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
When I press enter it will boot from the HD and take me to windows. This has never happened to me when using the UBCD before so perhaps my clumsy fingers hit something I shouldn't have, I am supposed to give this comp back to my buddy I was trying to help out soon and would like to get rid of this issue so any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
Ale

Re: nvidia boot agent issue
It seems the BIOS is configured to first try to boot from a remote location, and then the second option (still in the BIOS) is to boot to the HDD when the first boot attempt fails.
If you haven't changed anything in the BIOS (specially the boot order settings in it), and the system battery (that powers the BIOS) wasn't touched, then you haven't changed anything and that's the way it was configured before. If that's the case, then you can give the system back to its owner.

Re: nvidia boot agent issue
Ya know what, you were right. This bios had an option under the HD booting to check an "add in card" before trying to boot to the HD, I must have changed the order. I feel kinda stupid now being in the IT field. Thanks for nudging me back on the right track victor, I was getting really worried heh.
Thanks,
