Started out by trying to move my dual-boot win2k/redhat installation (2
ide disks and 2 ide opticals) to new rig containing P5GD1 and a new SATA
disk. That was a disaster. Redhat booted ok, win2k just bluescreened.
Thought maybe better off by upgrading to winxp first so I moved back to
old rig and upgraded. No problem. Moved to new rig again and tried
"restore" install. (F6-installed the IT8212 driver from floppy during
install although I'm not sure that was neccesary, that is for RAID
support, right ? Just using plain ide shouldn't demand for asus drivers
? ).
Problem was that winxp install didn't discover my newly upgraded winxp
and did a complete new install instead. The new installation booted ok
though but I discovered that I had forgot to enable periphs like LAN,
USB, serial etc in BIOS before starting installation. Enabled periphs
and rebooted. Plug and Play right ? New truckload of problems trying to
install all drivers needed. Finally gave up and removed FAT partition
from ide drive 1.
Thought I might as well re-install everything on a clean partition.
Problem now is that when trying to install without the IT8212 driver I
get a bluescreen with 0x0000007B error. When loading the IT8212 driver I
get past the screens where you select partitions etc. but then after
creating a boot partition (tried both FAT and NTFS) I'm getting prompted
to install the IT8212 driver from floppy once again ? Hitting enter
doesn't seem to have any effect, no reads on the floppy. Only option is
F3 to exit installation.
Help please ....
Thanks,
