I finally figured this one out. I'm able to replace system.dat with system.1st, then reboot. When that's done, just reinstall the OS on top. Just need to reinstall everything, but it does give a clean operating system with no data lost. Thanks Everybody! :)

When upgrading a system with on board video, I'm wondering just what the procedure would be. For instance, would I put the video back to standard vga mode, than install the new card, than disable the onboard video in the CMOS, or will that not work? Thanks, Eelad

Hi, It says, "8/16/32/64 MB 60~70 ns SIMM module DRAM." As well as the four dimms. I'm wondering, do they ever make the interface so that the same slot can take eather SIMMs or DIMMs. The diagram in the manual makes it look that way. Thanks, Eelad

Just do a printout of each screen in your bios menu. That way you can check your origionals if you start changing them and something goes wrong.

While your in your computer, you might also take a quick check to see if your power on switch attached to your power on botton on the front of your computer is firmly attached. Sometimes a dead computer can simply be the result of the power on switch not getting any power.

Try changing the hard drive you have on the secondary IDE slot from slave to master.
