Compaq Deskpro EN 6266 & 1790 *Update*
Nel suo scritto precedente, Nick Le Lievre ha sostenuto :
"Felix" wrote in message il.it... WOW A new hard drive? For SP4 in win2k... try nlite and do a win2k installation cd with sp4 in Its not worth a new hard drive for this PC - my friend may have another 2.1gb which *might* be clear of errors. I will probably run a thorough scandisk again to automatically fix errors and to scan for and try to recover bad sectors - even though Win98SE boot disk format did this before installation. Then I will attempt to install SP4 again. to do a low level format to (try to) fix errors, please use Active@KillDisk. It's free... -- Le dimensioni forse non sono importanti per le donne, ma sono essenziali per le vagine! |

I got sick of the 2.1gb which would spin up maybe 1 in 10 times (if lucky) so I low level formatted that 10.2gb with the track 0 error after I did a non destructive test and it stopped straight away with 20 errors. So its definetely cream crackered my friend also gave me a 1.2gb Western Digital so I booted to dos and formatted it no errors. I then ran Ghost and copied the Windows 2000 install from the 2.1gb to the 1.2gb and am using that now. 144mb free space lol with Windows 2000 (no service pack) and IE6sp1 + messenger 7.0. |

Did I have some hassle trying to ghost it though. I had a boot cd with Ghost on it (but no copy command) and a boot floppy setup for networking support (ie no Ghost program or copy command etc). I had to disconnect the 2.1gb connect the 1.2gb to primary with the CD Rom on the secondary and boot from cd. The 1.2gb had a FAT32 partition already on it with Windows 98 installed. So I changed directory to c:\windows\system and used the move command to move r:\ghostpe.exe to c:\ Then I booted from floppy and used the move command to move c:\ghostpe.exe a:\ Then I connected both the 2.1gb & 1.2gb and during a power on where the 2.1gb actually spun up I booted from floppy and ran Ghostpe |

I was lucky that the 1.2gb had a previous Windows98 installation. |

I was lucky that the 1.2gb had a previous Windows98 installation. and to make matters worse I haven't got any decent screws to screw the CD Rom in place so the one I used just about holds it in place as long as you don't apply too much pressure. I can usually get the system on with the power button but I have more difficulty getting it off. Its a peice of crap really I haven't got any case screws and the CD Rom isn't properly aligned to the front of the case. Plus the floppy has lost is eject button so there's just a hole there now lol. Oh well it'll do for my Internet purposes while my other PCs are unavailable. |

Oh well it'll do for my Internet purposes while my other PCs are unavailable. Searched google found that by enabling APM mode the PC now shuts down instead of displaying the "Its now safe to turn off your computer" its installed as a standard PC all the other PCs I ever came across that shutdown automatically were installed as ACPI Pcs under Computer in device manager. I didn't know enabling APM would allow a standard PC to shutdown (I guess this motherboard has ACPI features but for some reason they weren't detected during installation) anyone know why ? |
