| 195691 | 2003-11-29 05:13:00 | Okay having tons of problems with my xp. Now I have decided to try and reboot and reinstall hangs up. It starts okay for instal but halts when asking for the viaagp1.sys file ...not on the xp disk ! I have also searched the internet and can only find the 2000 version...no such luck it hangs. So I need help to reformat my hardrive. What is the procedure and whats the buttons to push to get to dos ? No dos on Xp ? How do I do it then ? Looking forward to your replies. David |

| 195694 | 2003-11-29 08:18:00 | I agree..... Boot from the XP CDRom. Reformat the partition you want WinXP on. After the WinXP is installed then use the motherboard driver disk to install the Via 4 in 1 drivers. You may need to get into the BIOS to set boot order like CDRom then Floppy, then HDD0 or HDD1 |
