Hi everyone,
Here's my dilemma. I went from a Intel setup to an AMD Duron w/the IWill KK266 KT133a chipset. To save time and aggrevation I didn't install the OS all over again. I used the known hack of going into the registry and removing the "enum" key and then let windows re-identify everything upon reboot. The problem is that everything looks o.k. but my floppy drive is running in Dos-Compatibility mode. I can get rid of that by going into the registry and removing the references to the floppy and then reboot so that windows finds it correctly the second time. The issue is that when it does this the second time it also loads some hardware called "tape controller" or "tape detection" under device manager.
Summary...
I either get dos mode compatibility w/o the "tape controller" or preferred mode with "tape controller".
I can't be the only one that ran into this because I also ran into this problem when I switched intel based motherboards but then I just re-loaded the OS. I don't want to do this again.
Any ideas or experience,
Nino
