Hi!
Well here is my problem,
I decided to assemble the computer by myself. Here is my computer's configuration which I individually purchased.
1) AMD Athlon 1.4 Ghz 266Mhz FSB with heat sink and fan
2) 512 mb DDR RAM PC2100
3) Asus A7 A266 DDR Socket A (No Audio)(Bios Version 1.04 - I guess)
4) Samsung 1.44" Floppy Drive
5) Pioneer 16x DVD OEM Plus Decoder card (Hollywood Magic, Sigma)
6) IBM Deskstar 40 Gb, 7200 RPM (no manual)
7) Creative Live Platinum White Box
8) Intel Ether Express Pro 10/100 mbps PCI Network Card with Wake up Lan
9) US Robotic Internal 56k PCI V.90 Modem
10) Sony 12x8x32x Double Density Cd writer
11) Dell Keyboard and Mouse
12) ATX Cabinet with 400 W Power supply
13) Kenwood 403 Dolby Digital Home Theater System
14) Dell 17" Monitor
15) Windows ME
16) Visiontek Geforce 2 Gts DDR 64mb Graphics Card (I think its 2x AGp)
Well here is my problem and I need your guidance in the following
1) I cannot boot from my hard disk. My system behaves wierd while booting through floppy disk. I mean sometimes it boot's with minimal boot option (I created a Windows ME Bootable disk) and sometimes it hangs. It does not boot with Cd Rom support. Sometimes my systems hangs with the memory check. Sometimes it does not detect my hard disk. My motherboard shows my processor as 1050 Mhz. I am also unsuccesful in making my harddisk bootable. Well the 'format' of windows me doest support format /s funda. I also cannot do sys c: .Well my hard disk was not formatted. I formated using the IBM diskmanager. Well I cannot install my operating system. Sometimes it says Internal Divide Error. IS there a confilict with the Graphics card or the motherboard has failed? I am worried because I spent a lot of money on this hardware.
Can you tell me what bios setting do I need to keep and How will I be able to install Windows ME operating system on my hard disk. Also the jumper settings in the hardisk have two options one is 15 cylinder(bios shows 39**** mb) and the other is 16 cylinder(bios shows 41**** mb). Please tell me on what option to keep.
Can you tell me step by step on how I can eliminate my mistakes and successfully install the operating system. I will be grateful.
Thanking You,
With regards,
