9300 2001-02-27 07:24:00 Hi,
I just recently got a new computer with an ASUS Socket A A7V Motherboard and some other bells and whistles.
But surprise came when I saw that Windows 2000/NT couldn't find the boot device, I installed Windows 98 anyway and found that when I installed programs the computer froze when copying files (It also froze sometimes when starting windows or even starting the installation program).
I contacted the support guy that told me that I needed the Promise UDMA 100 Drivers installed, I installed them but the problem failed to go away.
I tried installing Windows 2000/NT again (using a disk with the promise drivers) to choose the Mass storage drivers, but there was an error withe the .sys file on the disk.

I am completly lost, does anyone have ANY ideas?

Thanks,
Philip Quinn

9302 2001-02-27 19:45:00 I wouldn't think so, since it doesn't ask for the drivers for the RAID device. But I do know it has a VIA Apollo KT133 Chipset, Jumperfree PC133/VC133 200MHz FSB AGP Pro/4X Socket A Motherboard. Guest (0)
