I found the below old posting and was wondering what you thought of it and if it would be worth such an extreme measu Your problem is that most of the settings in Device Manager, particularly the System Devices tree, but also the controllers and ports, and the network adapter if it was onboard the old motherboard, are all related to the old motherboard. You may even now have 2 sets of entries. Set #1 being a leftover from the old motherboard, and Set #2, which are the ones that you need, being based on the new motherboard. You may find this difficult to swallow, but what you need to do is to go through of those Device Manager entries and remove them. ALL of them. Then load the chipset drivers that came with your motherboard and reboot. Windows will then detect and initialize the settings for your new board. Then you should install your video drivers. As many modems are not plug-and-play, you may then have to force-feed your modem drivers to the PC. After switching a motherboard, I do a repair installation of WinXP or W2K, resp. - yes, for P4P8oo Win98 is a "legacy OS"! Roy |

Check Master/Slave settings on the CD and the Drive that is on IDE2. If HD
Master/CD Slave doesn't work try the other way around. "lucky" wrote in message m... After much fiddling, I got the c drive and cd working. Then I decided to reinstall win 98 SE. I got windows to boot normally and haven't touched a thing in bios so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have to reload a bunch of drivers because I got an initial bootup error about child drivers or something like that. I just hope that reinstalling drivers doesn't make things bad again. Also I lost my secondary IDE after I put the cd drive back on it and also my other HD so it must be a cable issue there. Thanks for your suggestions. |
