This is the first time I've ever fully set up a new system myself
so I was expecting to have some trouble (but was really hoping I wouldn't). I wanted to ask anyone who has successfully set up this MSI Turbo board to answer a few questions for me or just gimme a quick run down of what to do.

First off I keep seeing this blinking "No Array Defined" during start up which I guess has something to do with FastTrack. What does FastTrack do? is there something I should be doing to make this blinking message go away?

Second, When I installed the VIA drivers (latest service pack) that came on the MSI Software CD and choose AGP Turbo (is there a difference between Standard and Turbo?) or whatever it was called after it finishes and I reboot I get asked for some file that cannot be found "viagart.cat" I think it was called. I searched for this file on the MSI and Win98SE cd's and even my main HD and couldn't find it anywhere. So I just click OK and I keep thinking I effed up something by not finding that file (I'm also having video card problems). This is the third time I've reformatted my C: drive and re-did everything. I REALLY need some guidance on what to do to get this bastard running. Thanks

i will try if you are not using the raid, then disable it in bios. then goto viahardware.com and download the new agp driver, i think its 405 now it should have the .cat file in it, i dont know much else. fasttrak is raid you can use 2 identical drives to double usually 1/3 more performance. the .catfile should be in the agp405 also download the newest 4n1 1428 i believe and give that one a try also additional patches for agp and ide if you are using w2k.

tpetre4322 has some good advice. Be cool. Quit formatting your C: drive - it's not the problem and that will just frustrate you. The CD rom motherboard mfg's send you are never up to date so you always have to get the latest. Load the 4n1 drivers one at a time. That might also help.
