Hi
ASRock K7S41GX with an AMD Sempron 2800 & 512Mb DDR all running at
'out of the box' stock speeds -nothing controversial..
I'm trying to upgrade from ME to XP on an existing windows
installation that has gone lumpy - suspect there might be loads of
malware clogging the thing up..
I have Corporate XP on the drive, & this will only install from an
existing windows - won't run from DOS - so my reasoning is along the
lines of - 'OK: make a clean ME install, & then install XP over it' -
I really don't wan't to inherit any malware into the XP install...
I have tried a DOS floppy boot, renamed 'Windows' as 'Winold' & then
do an ME install into a fresh new directory - 'Windows'.
The OEM WinMe install discs I have on the harddrive has worked before
on other MB's - but in this case it will splash the VGA install
screen, but then immediatly it comes up with this R6003 error - divide
by zero...
MS KnowledgeBase flags this as a motherboard anti-virus issue but this
particular board ASRock K7S41GX doesn't have any AV features.
The ASRock site has no pointers, and a google of "r6003 K7S41GX " gets
zilch..
??
Any help much appreciated!
