maybe the boot sector is fubared. either that or the other hardware is the issue; either the motherboard, or the drive itself. if you can, install the drive in another computer, and see if it boots up. that will at least tell you if the drive is working properly. do you get any registry errors at all? |

yes, when i first started using my brand m/b, i got the same errors, only because there were still bugs in it. as technology advanced, they fixed the bugs, but since it was a hardware thing, i had to upgrade the m/b...
then win98 worked. no problems, except the nut behind the keyboard. heh, i was playing with settings and blew out the processor and motherboard. oh well, had to buy a new one of each, but it still works fine. |
