| 327538 | 2005-02-23 04:35:00 | Hello I have just installed a 40G drive in a 466 machine, As the bios is too old to handle anything more than 8G I have put it in with an ATA card. The machine recognises it etc but when I try to install XP pro on it I keep getting the ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted message. Is there a way around this, thanks |

| 327540 | 2005-02-23 04:51:00 | Is this after you have installed XP and try to boot to Windows or is even before you get going? Have you formated the drive, what are the jumper/card settings? |

| 327541 | 2005-02-23 06:19:00 | yes that is the message, I am part way thru the XP installation and when it restarts to setup this message comes up | Fourpawz (6882) | ||
| 327542 | 2005-02-23 06:23:00 | Murray P, this comes up after the initial file loading of the XP installation and as it reboots to set up and configure XP. The drive was formatted as a part of the installation before the files were loaded. The ata card settings are auto. I think they get setup when I push F6 during the windows setup and load the drivers froma disk in a drive |

| 327545 | 2005-02-24 10:25:00 | isnt the min cpu required for XP a PIII 266mhz? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 327546 | 2005-02-24 16:04:00 | dunno but I've had it running on a 200mmx........anyway why use an add on card for the drive why not goto the drives manufcturer site and get a DDO program, (dynamic drive overlay) most drive makers supply this and it'll allow you to run your drive perfectly happily on a bios that wont technically support that size.......it's just a way of 'fooling' the system.........hell I've installed 80gb drives on OLLLLDDDD bios systems before using this method and nto had any probs at all............i'ts pretty simple..... | drcspy (146) | ||
