| 468576 | 2006-07-04 11:51:00 | Trying to instal a second hand Micro Star 6390 motherboard without the setup disk and intend to run win98. Have downloaded the drivers from the MSI site but can't sort out which driver should be installed where. Presume the original installation disk did all this automatically. The most confusing is the "VIA Chipset 4 in 1 driver" which contain folders titled Floppy, Raidtool, viamach, viaraid & viaefilt. Also the "via LAN 100_71" driver has folders amd64, linx, ndisz & netware. Any suggestions would be appreciated |

When you downloaded the drivers, you choose the appropritae O/S, in this case Win98. You'll need sound. Graphics if it has onboard graphics. LAN if you are intending to use the ethernet port. The 4 in 1 drivers are usually the motherboard chipset drivers, except RAID - that only for if you are using a RAID array with 2 drives. |
