| 707952 | 2008-10-06 06:35:00 | Dos does not recognize the rebuild part of last command. I typed it at command prompt as bootcfg/rebuild Looked in help couldn't find rebuild Hope this makes sence Cheers Wayne Theres a single space needed between bootcfg /rebuild Eg: g /r bootcfg /rebuild IF this does work, you will be asked two Questions regarding the system ID, for this purpose either put in 1 or Y --- Soon can be changed it it works, the whole Idea is to get the system going first. IF this works on the reboot select which ever you put in 1 or Y. |

| 707955 | 2008-10-07 22:59:00 | Before deleting anything - have you got the drivers for the hardware - you can boot from the UBCD, with a USB drive connected and search through the C: drive, sometimes they put the drivers in a folder, unless you have a driver CD, if they are there copy them to the USB drive for later. No Need to delete partitions etc, simply boot from the CD, tell it to install on drive C:, you'll get warning about other systems conflict etc, but carry on, then you will get to the point you can select format the drive - make sure you select NTFS, and follow instructions on screen - this will wipe the C: drive, format it and install XP, you'll need the product key. |

| 707956 | 2008-10-08 00:56:00 | Hi wainiuitech found Drivers Cache folder with i386 folder in that, drivers cab file 61 mb in size plus other files i take it this what you mean? Also found a Repair folder on c drive in it is a CONFIG.NT 3 kb Dated 9/03/2006 and CONFIG TEMP 3kb 4/08/2006 There is same config file in the systems32 folder with same size and date. Can I copy this file into the systems folder or am I barking up the wrong tree. Cheers Wayne |

| 707957 | 2008-10-08 01:32:00 | Narrrr The driver files ( .exe's) I was referring to are sometimes loaded into a folder on the C Drive, sometimes not. What is the actual Model number of this Machine, I went looking on Acer site for Acer XC5651 and couldn't find any thing - in fact a Google search only brings up theses threads ?? I was looking for drivers to give a link ???? As for the config file - Dunno - never tried it - cant hurt to copy it/over write it, the worst its going to do is start up :) Try it and see, it was going to be wiped any way. |

| 707959 | 2008-10-08 20:49:00 | Looked up that number again and DSE did have something with that code. to locate what it actually is, remove the side of the case, look on the motherboard, someplace will be a set of numbers/letters printed on the board saying what it is. Example Only (www.imagef1.net.nz) yours will be different. |

| 707960 | 2008-10-08 23:46:00 | The motherboard is a ASUS The model is either KBV-MX or K8V-MX Thanks again Wayne |
WayneMiddy (14028) | ||
| 707961 | 2008-10-09 00:26:00 | Go to Asus Driver downloads (support.asus.com) on the right from the three drop down boxes, select Motherboard Socket754 K8V-MX Hit search - on the window that opens select Windows XP And there are all the drivers: You will need Audio VGA LAN Others you dont need. Save to someplace like a removable drive / CD. Reinstall XP and load the drivers - all " Should be good to go" |
