I have had BSD screens last few days. It all started with some sort of USB problem when I printed something to my HP 812C USB printer (AMD 1700 on Soyo Dragon board w/When rebooting, ZoneAlarm would freeze on its auto-startup. Even Safe Mode failed several times. Finally got started, reloaded...

All of my Dragon+ problems have been resolved. The board is great. In the BIOS, there are only 2 options for setting the fsb, either 100 or 133. There is another adjustment for stepping up in 1mhz increments. The memory doubles the 100/133 setting to give you 200 or 266 respectively. Thanks...

Do you know which C-Media driver would be best? I used the 4in1's from the Soyo CD = 4.35. Thanks

I am ready to load drivers & update on Win2000 with Soyo Dragon Plus, on board Promise RAID w/2 hard drives and ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder. What order and should I get latest Via 4in1's or use 4.35 off the Soyo disc. I heard the 4.37 Via was bad. Is there a newer better tested driver? Quick...

Well, I am not sure, so please just spell out the procedure so an idiot like me can understand it.

bump for help.

Have a Soyo Dragon + w/Promise on board. I currently have a RAID array functioning, but would like to reformat and partition w/16k clusters & 16k stripes RAID on 2 Quantum 30gb harddrives. Using Win2000. I don't have a spare harddrive, so I can't load the operating system on a separate drive...

If I understood you correctly, I should be able to enter the numbers by using the backspace first. The situation you described was the way I saw it on screen (highlighted blue, but not overwritten by entering numeric characters). At what point can I set up 16k stripes and 16k clusters?

When I was removed my heatsink, I discovered that there was poor contact between the SK6 heatsink and the CPU, caused by having the clip on backwards (there were no instructions and I didn't notice that the clip has a shorter side). After remounting the stuff correctly, it runs great, 35 to 36...

When I set up my RAID and attempted to partition and format with 16k stripes, I was unable to enter the numeric characters to set the partition size. I used both sets of number keys and made sure that num lock was on. I ended up setting up my drives like a server, which I hope has the smaller...

Thanks all for educating me. By the way, I started replacing parts until I learned that the Soyo supplied floppy cable was defective. Good grief. So most things are cured. I put my last remaining problems in a separate post here . Again, thanks to all who responded.

I just put together a new 'puter that won't boot in 133 front side bus mode. Soyo's tech determined that the CPU was bad. If the 2BA1 BIOS was set to 133 fsb and booted while holding down the <INSERT>key, it still would go black immediately after one beep. When I pulled the heatsink off the CPU...

Greetings. I can use a little help. My floppy drive is not working. I cannot load the Promise drivers, because when I press F6 the instructions say to put them in drive A. My thought is that if I can switch drive letters so that the CD is drive A, then I might be able to get up and running...

Summary of remaining problems: 1. Dead floppy. Might be bad floppy, cable or Soyo problem. I am snowed in, but will get a new floppy when I can get off the mountain. 2. Can't boot at 133 front side bus speed. I have the 2BA1 BIOS, which supposedly corrected this problem associated with the...
