Alright! The crew at Tom's is my final hope before I return to shooting in the dark.
I'm suffering from the classic "file <---> was not copied correctly" error during an NT4 install to a 1.05 A7V133 mobo, Duron 800 processor. Have ruled out the install media. Am installing to 8G drive on the VIA controller; drive is historically solid. Have mostly ruled out RAM (have tried various DIMMS; continued failure, always at same point).
Searching deja has turned up a number of hits, many of them involving the A7V133 mobo, but no definitive solutions. Overall, the error looks to be the result of a RAM, caching, or IRQ problem.
My next moves are to flash the bios to most current, strip out unnecessary boards (nic), turn off all caching in the bios, disable promise controller, and retry the install. Perhaps copy the i386 directory from the CD to HD and install from there.
Still, the fact is I'm shooting in the dark. Does anyone have a more definitive solution to this problem, and/or can anyone provide any insight into some of the more obscure bios settings that I might tweak to get this OS installed?
Thanks very much in advance!!
