Hello all.

I've been attempting to boot a bootable recovery CD (Paragon 9.00) on a brand new Dell Precision T5400 with no luck so far. Both Normal Mode and Safe mode end up nowhere, computer just stops responding immediately. Low-graphics Safe Mode works fine by me though doesn't seem to offer a USB hard drive support!

The workstation is equipped with Raid 0, though I'd expect this is not a problem as Low-Graphics DOS safe mode recognises Raid Matrix correctly. It's just a USB support that I crave for badly!

BTW, the same recovery CD kicks-off smoothly on my Dell Laptop, so now I'm puzzled. I've tried CDs burnt out in a customisable creator as well as the widely available non-customisable ISO image ...

I'll appreciate any suggestions how to work around the problem.


Cheers,
Peter

Contact support and ask for different version of recovery cd that could boot on your dell configuration.
