    can't boot to windows

    I was trying to clone the HD in my wife's Dell to an external HD. She has WinXP and I'm using Ghost 2003. I'm stuck at the DOS start up screen after initiating Ghost. If I select option 1 to run Ghost, nothing happens. Likewise, if I select option 2 to return to windows nothing happens. I...

    start hangs on Verifying DMI Pool Data

    I was attempting to run a Ghost back up. Not sure what happened, but I suspect boot files became corrupted? I can boot using a WinXP disc and go to Recovery Console. I have 2 Windows installations and see them both. I can get to C:\WINDOWS, not sure where to go from here? If I reinstall...

    Nero

    I'd like to create a slipstream CD for my WIN XP Home with SP2. I read an excellent article at winsupersite. Everything was going great until I got to the end using Nero Burning ROM. I discovered they've taken their demo down and any older version I found on the net showed as expired on my...

    SATA drive + WIN XP Home

    I just put together a rebuild using a DFI lan party UT nF3, AMD 3400+, WD SATA 250 GB drive, ect. The board sees the SATA HD, I can see it in BIOS and it's reporting the correct size. When I reboot with my WIN XP Home CD, Windows doesn't seem to be seeing the drive. I've read the other...

    DFI LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb + AMD3400+

    Can someone please direct me to a guide for setting up this combo? Just defaults, no o/c at this point. My searches are coming up empty. or If I just assemble this setup, will this board autodetect enough to get me up and running? Thanks

    Help with dead machine

    I was playing GTR, a racing sim that's pretty hardware intensive when my machine died. I've had this sim for a few months now and it's been OK before. In the middle of a race, the game shut down, I briefly saw my desktop, then the mahine shut down. I noticed a smell like something burning...

    I'm trying to install my new Leadtek 6600GT. I removed the old drivers using add/remove programs, restarted and installed new drivers by running the install off the CD as recomemnded in the manual. I then restarted again and this time let WINXP go through the found new hardware wizard. It...

    I recieved some good suggestions the other day, but to no avail. I'm trying to install a chaintech sound card. Windows sees and recognizes the card. I click on the new hardware wizard to load drivers. I've tried several drivers including letting windows go to the update site. I got the...

    Moderate Upgrade

    I built my system (with help from these boards) 2 years ago, but it's starting to show it's age. I can't afford a new system now, so I'm considering a small upgrade. My system's in my sig., nothing overclocked. I think this board will accept an Athlon XP3000+ Barton with a BIOS upgrade, but I...

    Norton Ghost

    I'm shoping for a copy of Ghost 2003 and have found that I can get SystemWorks 2003 for less that a standalone copy of Ghost. If I get SystemWorks 2003, can I only use Ghost? I already have firewall and virus protection that I'm happy with. This is to backup my home drives. Thanks, Steve

    GA-7VAXP Sound

    Hey all: I've included my sytem specs in my profile. Ever since I put this system together, I've been experienced sound issues. I'm using the built in sound chip on the board. I hear static when playing music and also when gaming. It's not very loud, but it's definately annoying. Any ideas...

    GA-7VAXP sound

    I'm experiencing static, but only when in a game (NASCAR 2002). CD's, MP3's. ect. sound great. I'm using the onboard sound, with my game controllers plugged into the mobo game port. I' guess maybe there's some conflict with the controller? Don't see any conflicts in device manager, but maybe...

    ATA 100 hard drive

    I'm looking at a WD 300BB 30 GB 7200rpm ultra ATA 100. My non-raid KT7 only supports ATA66. I currently have an old WD 6 GB drive (don't have the specs with me). I assume the ATA100 will work on this ATA66 mobo, is that correct?

    Duron Experience

    OK, all: After reading these forums for a few weeks, I decided on Abit KT7 for my Duron 650. Also got an Alpha PAL 6035 after reading here when 2Cool had them. I'm happy to report that all went very well. I went slowly, but had no problems whatsoever. Booted on 1st try. Set Duron to 650...
