I bet Windows was just expecting a different CD-Rom drive. I didn't even think about this until now...oh well...glad to see you got things working. |

well no not solved. now i have a registry error. it kept giving me errors...look at my other post on this board (in main forum) and see what im talking about. ive since formatted from the command prompt and am now running scandisk. hopefully everything is fine. if not i dont know what im going to do. im going to try reinstalling win98. i have win2k....should i install that instead? would that fix the problem maybe? |

No, if theres something hardware related, it wont help you anymore then where you are now. Why confuse the issue more. lol |

Something you can try is to download a memory checking program and see if it find anything. here is a link for a good tester. http://www.memtest86.com/ Also, you can usually download hard drive diagnostics from your hard drive manufacturer, which can be run in dos as well, through a boot disk. Those two kinds of tests should give you a good solid idea if something is screwy. Who made your hard drive? I can look for a dos diagnostic for you if you want. |

well i just ran the scandisk utitilty for the c drive, and there were no bad clusters and it didnt find any errors. i formatted the hard drive again and then installed windows. it was fine, until i started installing mobo drivers that came with the cd. i dont know if its related to this or not, but its really starting to piss me off. i get the registry error, but now its in windows and it says its going to restart. i havent clicked OK yet, but as soon as i restart, im sure ill get the error about the registry but in the startup now and it wont even let me get into windows. do i need to flash the bios, or um....i dont know, do something else?! this is getting frustrating. |
