    A possible solution
    I got a SATA DVD writer. My drives and old DVD Writer are all IDE. I can't get all to work at the same time. What I have found is that when I turn the SATA channel on I will lose...

    When files are written to a drive with data on it they are often broken up and tend to be scattered all over the drive. If you have recently run Defrag the pieces are on the drive together in...

    To supplement Train I would call the NIC a LAN card or an Ethernet card.

    Out of left field, when I was shopping for my latest computer I was looking at AMD versus Intel. One of the comparison I...

    It would have to be the cartridge. sort of like a 720kb floppy versus a 1.44mb. The higher density of the 1.44 can be used by a 720 drive. But the cartridge indentations tell the drive it is not a...

    I know nothing about tape backup. However, looking at Wikipedia I see that DDS-2 is 4GB uncompressed. DDS-4 is 20GB.

    Well, I just switched to Combined mode and noted that the SATA became IDE0 replacing my actual IDE0. So I had listed IDE0 (SATA DVD Burner) and IDE1 (DVD Burner and 80gb HD). I was able to access...

    I'm guessing this was done on a different computer than the one you are trying to install on. If so, it was most likely jumpered as a slave. When you install on the old computer, which presumably can...

    Note that on page 2-12 in lists the connectors. SATA1 and SATA2 do not support RAID. SATA3 and SATA4 are optional ports for RAID. Chapter 4 is about RAID and I think is referring to SATA3 and SATA4...

    Craig, this is a system problem, not a Windows problem. If the Motherboard can't see the memory, Windows can't see it either.

    It may be what I referred to. In the manual on page 8, L2 Cache is listed as "512/1mb". You apparently have 512kb installed. That probably gives each slot a 128mb capacity. If you upgrade to 1mb...

    I don't know if it is applicable. But I'll throw it in FYI. My older TYAN Tomcats are advertised to support up to 512mb ram. So I bought 8 sticks of 64mb ram. They wouldn't work in my Tomcat 2 board....

    Not to derail what you are doing here, but FYI, I have an old TYAN 4 with an 80gb WD IDE hard drive and Windows 98. I partitioned it with a 2gb FAT16 first drive "C" and the rest FAT32 (each 20gb)....

    My guess is that those floppies don't have the correct driver for that CDROM drive. I would think the most machines capable of running Windows 2000 would have the ability to boot from the CD. Check...

    What I'm getting in your original post, I suspect that TPCD001 is not a driver. It is the handle name given for your CDROM in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file of the floppy boot disk under the MSCDEX line....
