Title: Legacy PC doesnīt boot ! Post by Nagual on 31.08.06 at 18:57:19
Well, I keep an old desktop just to play some games in Glide, officing, etc. But since Iīve replaced the cd-rom drive by a new one, from Benq, it doesnīt boot any more. I have checked the cd-rom jumper, the flat cable, the setup, the cd-rom itself, and updated the firmware, but it always stops at the same point after the post. When I take the drive off, I get to windows fast. Just didnīt update the bios yet.
??? ??? ??? Need some support. Thanks a lot ! specs.: Old FIC motherboard, OEM made to HP/Pentium 350-Slot1/Voodoo 4500 AGP/2x128MB RAM/OPTI ISA Sound Card/Samsung 4GB/Windows98 |

Have you tried putting the CDrom on the other IDE (2)
This way it won't conflict with your H.D.D. I'm thinking that it an old Harddrive, maybe mode 4 and the CDrom is a newer Ultra ATA. Make each one the master and put them on seperate cables. |

Oh yeah. Don't forget to set your BIOS to AUTO for the IDE 1 MASTER and IDE 2 MASTER.

Thank you gamma, but they already are on separated cables, as masters. I think Iīm gonna update the bios. I havenīt donne this yet because the board was takken from a Hewllet Packard desktop, and they used to be some kind of tricky. Besides, the only information I have about the bios update is that it gives support to WinXP. Well, itīs not much..., but it must be different...

The new cd rom works in a different pc? I've gotten a bad one out of the box before, might want to try that.
