Mikrotik Died unable to reinstall

RouterOS General
1

I have a Compaq EN SFF machine setup as mikrotik router with a CF-IDE Converter and a compact flash card.

Because of switching DSL providers some day now, ive installed a ISDN Board. To get on the net when mij dsl connection is being moved.

So i powered down the box and installed a ISDN board. But after that i`m unable to boot the box. Linux kernel loading and then is stops. Unable to load disk please place it elseware.

Sow i thougd damn im screwed, lets reinstall but when im using netinstall PXE boot nothing happens. When i use a floppy disk. Everything works using netinstall im able to start the installation. But at the point of transfering the installation something goed wrong.

FATAL ERROR: bad network connection
Press Enter to reboot

And now i do … ?

I,ve alreadey tried another networkboard / connection. And am currently downloading the latest version of netinstall

  • New network not helping
  • Latest netinstall utility also not helping
  • Installing the software on the compact flash using a usb cf reader on mij XP machine isnt working either.
  • Installing o a normal HDD, same problem

Help :cry:

Yes up and running again.

It seems tha my CF IDE Flashdrive has died. Although windows xp can read and write to the flashdrive. Something isnt working fine.

Sow now i have removed the CF-IDE Converter and the CF-FlashDisk from the machine and installed mikrotik using the BootCD on a Harddisk
and restored mij emailbackup

Installing using netinstall PXE boot or netinstall floppy boot still didnt work

Although im stil having a issue, the box is sending me a autosupout.rif on reboot. But i cant figure out why.
