I'd check if the latest VIA 4in1 drivers are loaded. If not, load them.. Good Luck PEACE Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Whats the OS of this current HDD? SCSI or IDE? Taking the HDD out of that machine and formatting on the secondary controller of a different machine running 2000 will allow you to format it NTFS. You should be able to restore the image then. If SCSI, same idead, just change ID# on the drive...

With the low cost of drives today, either give it to a friend in trade for something cool, auction it off on e-bay for a buck, or put it in an old pre ATA system. PEACE Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Common issue with a bad floppy drive. Replace the drive and ribbon cable and try again. PACE Not All Who Wander Are Lost

I saw the 'short of formatting'. Thats why I wrote 'bite the bullet'. In the time you have taken to get this far and try all the patches and fixes you have probably already installed (with limited success, I imagine), you could have done the backup, format, clean and be weel on the way to...

I think you hit it cyoung. This looks like a corporate computer. Afrofoiler, don't mess with the company's machines ;-) This isn't a Microsoft thing, it's your company's Computer Administrator's thing. PEACE Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Again, this all depends on whether you are using a DDO. Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Either that or get TWEAK/UI. Get it at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/guide/tweakui.exe execute the tweakui.exe and save it in c:\tweak (overwrite the c:\windows\temp. Thats a messy place to load files to) The folder will be created automatically. Then RIGHT-click on tweakui.inf and select...

Nimda is Vicious. Bite the bullet. Back up all data to a different hard drive. Perform a clean install of your OS, then install a GOOD IE: NOT Norton or McAfee anti-virus program on your computer. Do all updates for AV software, and then connect your data drive (Remember it still has nimda on...

Theres the possibility that you are using a DDO as well. When you set up the original hard drive, did you use MaxBlast on it? If so, it probably loaded the DDO program. You won't be able to access c: drive form a boot floppy withoutholding down the [Ctrl] key when the system starts it's boot...

You're just begging for more problems no matter how you try to do this. You may have to take a while resetting up your software on the 2K system, but the time is a good investment. First off, Win98 IS NOT a reliable stable OS when you try to do a hardware change as radical as a new motherboard...

What doesn't work about it? No dialtone?, no response from modem? Give me your error exactly. Not All Who Wander Are Lost

The temperature sensors are designed to tell the correct information about operating temperatures only when they are setup in the MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED LOCATION!! Unfortunatly, finding out that information is harder than getting a 286 to run XP-Pro. I've found that the 'Industry' standard is...

Updating BIOS can be the Rebirth, or complete Death of a motherboard. Don't flash BIOS unless the system doesn't operate properly, and there is no workaround. Prepare yourself for the motherboard to NEVER work again if you screw up flashing the BIOS, or a power problem occurs during flashing...

If it's a Winmodem, quite frequently, the COM port won't show in Device Manager. I'm inclined to think your modem is defective. Go to Control Panel~modems~ find your modem and it's COM PORT (Presumably COM4) do a more info check on the modem and the system will do an AT& send to the modem. You...

The problem seems completely hardware related. You have added power hungry items (new HDD), (More Memory). That puts an additional draw on the power supply. Just a few millivolts extra draw on a weak or underpowered supply will cause complete system power problems (Such as reboots). I see it all...

I'm trying to shore up security for my on-site customers. A little background, then the question. A few days ago, I went on a service call to configure PCAnywhere 10.1 for a client. He has no firewall at the home location, and router using NAT at the host location. I was at his home (The...
