Getting this message in the middle of Disk 2. > Getting this message in the middle of Disk 2. What is the complete equipment list for this computer, including make/model/type of video card, type of RAM, etc.? The error message is indicating an incompatibility and if the motherboard, chipset and hardware is anything more than conforming to the basic IA-32 architecture, NT (08/96) just might be too obsolete for it. And this could include late-model P4-CPU's, non-Intel chipsets, fast AGP video cards, etc. ECS PM800-M2 mobo VIA PM800 Northbridge, VT8237 Southbridge chipsets P4 Celeron 2.66GHz (socket 478) 512MB RAM It's got onboard AGP video, but I've got the BIOS set to Init Display First: PCI slot I've got an ATi (I think) PCI VGA installed for setup. I've seen this error posted in couple of forums. Here's what one poster who, back in March, had been getting the same error had to say: "I have the Phoenix-Award BIOS and under the Advanced BIOS settings I discovered changing the max CPUID from disable to enable allowed me to install NT 4.0 Workstation on this machine." My mobo doesn't seem to have this setting, but perhaps there's a similar one? I don't know what this setting is. >> Getting this message in the middle of Disk 2. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > include late-model P4-CPU's, non-Intel chipsets, fast AGP > video cards, etc. ECS claims that this mobo IS compatible w/NT, FWIW... > ECS claims that this mobo IS compatible w/NT, FWIW... If this motherboard is going to support Windows NT, and after looking at its description, it is going to have to be set up to do it. In general, the specs for the 'board is way beyond the capabilities of Windows NT. For starters, re-set the HD controller to UDMA 33. Slow down the PCI bus by dropping back to DDR 266 MHz RAM. Keep the PCI video card. HT support should be disabled, if not already done. Disable S-ATA and USB. Still want to use this motherboard with NT? I'd rather stick in a P4-3.4 MHz (or faster) Prescott CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and let it fly with S-ATA hard drives. Thanks. I'll try your suggestions. The only reason I'm doing this is that my company is writing some software and the customer wants it to run on 98SE, NT, 2k, Me, XP Home and Pro. That's why I've built this machine w/a removable HDD drawer, to accomodate all the different OSes. Simplier to have one designated test box. >> ECS claims that this mobo IS compatible w/NT, FWIW... > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > in a P4-3.4 MHz (or faster) Prescott CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and let > it fly with S-ATA hard drives. |
