    FLOPPY WONT WORK

    Try changing the settings in the BIOS. Make sure it is set to "a:" - make sure that the floppy controllser on the motherboard is enabled, etc, etc... And make sure that the drive is set to "a:" by putting it on the cable after the twist in the cable.

    EXTENDED PARTITION ERROR

    If you persist with a Win98 version of FDISK, it should work. Also use the command "fdisk /mbr" to remove LILO from the MBR. If you want to pay for it... Power Quest Partition Magic 6 will definitely solve the problem, it can see every type of partition except for Windows 2000/NT...

    AWARD BIOS won't change settings

    Since when can you "flash" a BIOS by changing DIP switches?? (or any other kind of jumper for that matter) It's not flashing the BIOS, it's called CLEARING IT. Why don't you actually go to AWARD's website, download the right BIOS upgrade AND flash program, and install it properly -...

    Disk controller/system log

    Maybe try using an ATA66/100 sheilded 80pin/conductor cable. The "new" ones everyone refuses to pay an extra dollar for. It should at least solve the parity problem. I was having the same problem with the same drive, that's the only thing that made it work. jschrie@hotmail.com

    Shorter Memory Stick?

    So, what these people are trying to say, is that you probably bought the wrong type of RAM. By your description, either the people at Circuit City screwed up by giving you a DDR stick, or they gave you a PC133. Either way they screwed up by not asking what you needed in a proper way, and also...

    newbie

    hehehehee... You can take EVERYTHING out of your startup, autoexec.bat, disable absolutely everything from everywhere leave the computer running only Win 95/98 and you'll still end up at ~50% resources overnight. If you want to see less memory being sucked up constantly from nowhere, then...

    serial mouse on ps/2 ports

    Ummm...here's a novel idea...why don't you just plug them into the SERIAL ports?? If you don't have any you can go and pick them up almost anywhere. Save yourself soem soldering time and get an I/O card if need be. People are giving them away, let alone selling them cheap. jschrie@hotmail.com
