| 809125 | 2009-09-18 03:22:00 | hey, about the ms dos floppy i made by choosing that formatting option in windows, so do i just boot into it and just remove the JP3 jumper, cuz im doing that right now, and the screen is just black, i dunno man. ill try what you said but......gasp | art789 (15230) | ||
| 809126 | 2009-09-18 03:30:00 | i tried what you said and it didnt work. it said DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISCK AND PRESS ENTER OR SHOOT YOURSELF BLAYH BLAH BLAH.....man... i connected the hard drive to the card in the pci slot and the cd drive to the mobo, i couldnt do vice versa cuz the computer is bui8lt weird if you saw the youtube video. so i dunno what do, i thought there was hope by installing the new BIOS but i cant even do that right. i did the format thing he said and making a bootable ms dos thing with the formatting option in windows but when i set the bios to boot from the floppy and set the jumpers to what the manual said i get nothing. i dunno. maybe i DO have the wrong mobo . i dunnno. i guess im gonna just have to pay for a sata cd drive or hard drive. |

| 809127 | 2009-09-18 03:44:00 | If you want to make a boot disk, the easiest way - go to Bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com/) download the file for your system, it will be an exe file, simply double click it, follow instructions to make a bootable floppy. If its a simple boot disk with CD support, get the win98. Add the BIOS flash files as previously mentioned and boot from that floppy follow your own instructions to install. WARNING: as previously mentioned by Fiat Lux / Post 18, make sure you have the correct BIOS flash - the wrong one will stuff your BIOS. Close enough is NOT good enough. |

They all come with the driver for the CDRom drive anyway in case you need to acdcess the CD drive. Make a floppy bootable with the boot files you get from bootdisk.com and add the three files. Then make sure in the BIOS that the PC is set to boot from the A:/ drive. Flash the BIOS and then set the BIOS to default settings. Take out the floppy then boot. |

| 809130 | 2009-09-18 07:42:00 | again, im not trying to sound like a baby, but i guess i cant help it, are you meaning the first one in the boot.com page that says: DOS/Windows9X/Me/NT/2K/XP Excellent Bootdisks becuz i dont anything on the page about windows 98. sorry. oh and i just made a floppy boot disk from the FREE BOOT DISKS section named DOS 5.0 , heres the link to that page. www.bootdisk.com and im just gonna add the three files to it. is that ok? im sorry again if im asking for too much pointing in the right direction. | art789 (15230) | ||
| 809131 | 2009-09-18 07:44:00 | oh yea, and id rather go with the floppy way of flashing the BIOS if thats ok. | art789 (15230) | ||
| 809132 | 2009-09-18 07:50:00 | Grab the fourth one down on that page. It will give you an *.exe file. Insert blank formatted 3.5" floppy in A:/ drive and run the download. Add your three files. Boot from the floppy. You will then have to run the flash exe and tell it where the BIOS file is. And try to make very sure that you have the correct *.bin file or will have a nice paperweight but not much else. |
