MSI K7T and Win XP conflict?

[pookguy88]

I've heard that Win XP and the K7T-Turbo RAID mobo don't like each other. Is this true? Can anyone shed any light on this situation? Thats why I've been weary to upgrade to XP. Thanx.
BTW I don't use the RAID capabilities on my mobo.

I've been using Windows XP since beta 1 and have not had any problems with the MSI K7T-Turbo R board. Works great for me.

hmm ok, how about my other hardware:

-Voodoo3 3500
-SB Live! Value
-IBM 14.4 Gig HD

anyone foresee any difficulites???
also, how do u install XP from scratch?? Do I need some sort of XP boot up disk?? I can't run setup.exe from dos mode.

I have a K7T (non-RAID) and SB-Live 5.1 . . . no problems!

Oh yea- and to do a clean install of WinXP, boot from CD. Just stick the CD in the drive, and go to BIOS and select 1st boot device to be CD-ROM. Anybody know how I can do a clean install from hard drive? I like to copy my Windows CD to hard drive and then install it so that it doesn't prompt me for the CD. I figure I can just copy the entire cd to the root of my C:, but I don't want all those loose files in my main directory. Any way to do a clean install by copying it to a sub-directory? I suppose another option is to install Win98/ME/2K first and then upgrade . . . /=

 

[pookguy88]

is that the only way to do a clean install?

You can also do a clean install over a network drive . . . though I'm not sure how to go about it. Or the other way I mentioned, install an older Windows, then do an upgrade w/ XP.
