Hi, I am using Leadtek Winfast Nvidia Geforce 2 Pro graphics card on my Epox 8K7A+ motherboard. I have a serious problem now after I installed the Leadtek driver. The floppy disk can not be bootable! I only leave a floppy drive, the video card, 512MB memory connected to the motherboard. If I...

Thank you for the reply. If theres is a disk I/O error or 'can not load system file' error reported when booting from the floppy disk, is the problem from BIOS or motherboard?

I have some problem with booting from the floppy disk(after I installed Nvidia driver on Epox 8K7A+). I have just found at least two other people have the same problem. Now I am very interested to find where the problem comes from. Could anyone give me some knowledge on how the system boot from...

The point I doubt the motherboard is bad is: If I turned the machine off for about a couple of hours, then the floppy drive works. After that, if I reboot again, the floppy drive fails. How do you set the FDD controller? If I can see the floppy drive found in the BIOS, is FDD controller already...

This is kind of continuing my earlier post. I have a motherboard. I plugged in graphic card in the AGP, and connect the motherboard to a floppy drive(This drive works well on another machine). I inserted a Windows98 disk(It boots another machine well) and change the BIOS to boot from the floppy...

I checked BIOS, the floppy disk is there. The weird thing is that if I boot from the hard disk, I can see the floppy drive and can see the files on the floppy disk. However, this drive is not bootable even if I use a system bootable disk and change the BIOS to make it boot from Floppy. :(

Thank you for the reply. I tried that but it still does not work. :(

I have a floppy drive which can not boot the system floppy disk(which can be boot from another floppy drive). However, when I switch that floppy drive to another motherboard, it works and can boot a system disk. So what is the problem here? My motherboard or hard drive wrong or something else...

I am thinking to buy a cdrw for my redhat 7.1 and win2k duable computer. Which cdrw can support linux, plextor, lite-on, cendyne, Qps? Do I need a driver for the cdrw to run? Where can I get some software to burn a cd in Linux? Thanks a lot!

Wow, your cooling is really coooool! Is it easy to change a heat sink and the fan on it? It was not easy when I installed mine above CPU. I ordered a retail box from newegg.com, and the heat sink came with the CPU. Sorry, I am not sure the brand. Thanks a lot!

I have an Athlon 1.4GHz, and it is about 46C/114 F degrees(read from CMOS setup) and the system is at 26C/70F when idle. Is this reasonable or high? I am very concerned about it. Here is my system: Lian Li PC68, two front fans + one rear fan Epox 8K7A+ motherboard 512MB crucial non-parity...

I would like to buy a cd-burner and make it work in Linux. I am pretty new to Linux, so my questions are: Is it easy to config a cd-rw in linux to work? Do I need to recompile the kernel or do other things? What brand cd-rw should I buy for Linux? Someone are talking about the Que! cd-rw in...

Has anyone loaded Win2K on an Epox8K7a+ motherboard? I checked the website of Epox.com, there is no win2k driver for the AMD761 chipset on that board. Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot! :)

I saw some motherboards have IDE controllers(like Epox 8K7A+), and others have EIDE controllers(like ABIT KG7). Is there a big difference between IDE and EIDE in performance and stability? Can I use a EIDE hard drive on an IDE one, or the other way around? I heard EIDE is newer than IDE. So when...
