Hi @all,

first, i'm from germany, so sorry for my probably bad english.

i have a great problem in installing an ids 9.40 tc6. when i try to initialize the service the first time i will get the following error:

11:25:12 Booting Language <c> from module <>

I've a windows system, 2003 server incl. SP1, nothing else is installed. i've made the server completly new (reinitialize raid, installing W2K3, installing SP1, installing IDS). the harddisks are at a raid10 on an intel raid-controller (drivers are up-to date). i try to install it on the second partition (D:\). when i install it on the primary partition (C:\) everything works fine. but this is not the practible way, installing an informix server for the customer. when i try to make a hardware check on the disks, there are no errors.

so, does anyone have a resolution for me???

thanks in advance for any idea.

is this a valid path?

'D:\IFMXDATA\online_tlz\rootdbs_dat.000'
