    ATA100 + ABIT KT7 RAID + 2 Maxtors in RAID0

    Heya, I doubt you would get it working hehe Yes I am running SP2 (german btw.), thats not the problem in my eyes... Since it doesn't matter much what OS I install, it refuses to boot like WinME too, it won't come as far to load drivers and stuff, freezes before Just right before the logo-screen, as I said. I hope this new HPT370 RAID BIOS (v1.11.0402) will help, but I can't install it yet, since its released only for PCI Cards, and I need to wait when ABIT includes it into their BIOS ... However, my USB problem seems really fixed, wooohooo This time I managed to install them properly. However VIAUSB.SYS which is contained in the USB Filter 1.08 Installation (in Win2k folder) won't be copied to one of the WinNT system directory, I tried it not once, which I don't care much since its working now, but I wonder why Btw., my system isn't overclocked at all. thanx & bye
  2. Hello I have a real problem with my system, so lets see if someone of you could help me I've bought two new Maxtor [40.0GB 5T040H4 U/DMA100 7200u/min] drives, since I have that HPT370 RAID controller on-board (BIOS v1.0.3b), I decided to strip those drivers (RAID0). I have used two 80-wires IDE-cables, so they are both MASTER. Of course the newest ABIT KT7 BIOS is installed (dated: 11th May 2001) ... Sounds good doesn't it? Well, it all WORKS, WHEN I set ATA66/DMA4 in that HPT370 BIOS ... I can install Win2000 Prof. and do whatever I want ... When I set BOTH drives to ATA100/DMA5 (still stripped) it will refuse booting the OS, right after that screen where it shows all that IRQs, drives, RAM, CPU whatever ... So that menu where I could choose between WinME/Win2000 for example wouldn't appear ... But I can see that it loads something from the HDDs, just 1-2 seconds long... I have played around with my system, like connecting those 2 drives on ONE 80-wires cable (Master+Slave) and used that Maxtor Utility where you can change DMA mode for you hard disk (which I am not sure really worked since it seems supposed for some other Maxtor hard disks, but it said: "DMA Mode 5 set"). That all didn't work, and when booting each time I saw _sometimes_ the OS trying to boot, the Win2000 Boot-menu appeared! (sometimes), well but thats it, after pressing Enter it ****ed up, sometimes just stopped, sometimes, showed some strange error messages or whatever. It never showed me that colored Windows 2000 logo-screen with the blue satus bar... So I decided to reinstall all that, btw I have used FDISK and FAT32: C: 4 GB, D: 4 GB, E: 68 GB - that all worked, and I have succesfully formatted them (that seems working using ATA66 AND ATA100), but as soon as I try to install Win2000 Prof. (using newest HPT370 drivers on installation startup) it copies all that files etc. and then it wants to reboot - same **** happens, it won't boot, not using ATA100! Well so all I can do now, is setting both drives to ATA66/DMA4, what I really don't want, since those stripped hard disks are fast enough to reach more than 66 MB/s in my opinion ... I can't say if the Maxtor drive will work non-stripped, since I don't want to loose all my data ... I wonder which DMA mode Windows 2000 is running them, shouldn't be higher than I set in the RAID Controller BIOS? Any ideas what I could do to fix that, or how I could figure out which DMA mode Windows 2000 is running them? That's all somehow wired... And btw. my USB doesn't work as well, at least not the attached device, but that's again another story Bah that's a long post hehe many thanks and regards [PhoeniX]

    I lost Dual Boot, how to restore?

    Hello I had to copy my whole C: partition to a new hard drive. Well something went wrong and I had to re-install Win2000 Pro, after this I was able to boot Win2000, but not Win98. After I choose Windows 98 in the boot menu, I get an error msg: "Invalid System, change disk ...". I have tried to REPAIR Windows 2000 (FIXMBR, FIXBOOT). Didnt help... Then I took my old Win98 Bootdisc and used SYS (sys a: c , after this I was able to boot windows 98, but of course not Win2000... OK, then I tried again to repair Win2000, same thing: Win2000 works, Win98 dont (Invalid System, change disk ...) Can anyone help ? I have tried some boot mgr's (that PartitionMagic BootMagic is crap, it said "can't find FAT32 on primary partition" under win2000), and the other are only usefull if you want to boot from different partitions. bye & thx

    yeah baby!! Logitech official drivers for wink

    Hi again I always had english MouseWare installed, I guess there haven't been a german version... So I don't think thats the problem... My Win2000 Installation was not an upgrade from Win9x - it was a fine and clear one Yes I had MouseWare 8.62 installed - and before MouesWare 9 Logitech said its OK if you install it, but there may be some problems under Win2000 (the installer said this!)... And now... The lamers say: "Do not install any version of MouseWare 8.x (or earlier) into Windows 2000. It may crash your Windows 2000, forcing you to reinstall Windows 2000." http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/28.cfm Haha, thanks logitech for telling me this now, but why didn't you said "DON'T INSTALL MOUSEWARE 8.62 ON WIN2000" some weeks ago - it was not there anyway, no features no nothing, just logitechs own drivers which were as good as the original Win2000 drivers (I want them back!) OK thats it for the moment - I'm so pissed

    yeah baby!! Logitech official drivers for wink

    Hello - Just installed MouseWare 9 (Uninstalled 8.62 before...) - rebooted - no mouse cursor, no mouse at all - keyboard not working - same thing in safe mode - Win2000-BootCD did not repare this and it seems it didnt even check the systemfiles... I tried to replace some files by using those from the Win2000 CD (but did not found many) after that I just deleted all LogiTech files I could find... Still no mouse cursor! Then I plugged a MS mouse (PS/2) -> even THEN no mouse cursor (mouse hasnt been recognized right) So I think some major mouse file has been replaced by the lame MouseWare file - and I don't know which one... OK, thanks to LogiTech for f*ucking up my system I hope the NTC dudes here can heeeeeelp meeee ) Don't want to reinstall P.S.:No, my eyes are really OK I'm using Windows 2000 German Final Logitech Marble FX PS/2 ASUS P2B, 256 MB RAM etc. PS/2 KeyBoard bye

    Win2000 Final + SBLive + WinOnCD 3.7 not starting up

    Hi 3 things WinOnCD may use sound drivers for: - There are a lot of soundediting tools (like fade in/out, record, play etc.) - you can play MP3 when building a CDDA - and you can preview MPGs (of course with sound) Its obviously, when I check the box WinOnCD starts up, when its unchecked it doesn't! cya
  14. If you can't get your WinOnCD 3.7 start up then read this! Today I noticed some new LiveWare 3 installations instruction and I downloaded and tried to install it again (I tried it over and over with the old instruction and it was never working for me). Well, again it did not work. Looks like the SoundCard can't be found by any player and AudioHQ... So I said, f*ck it! I will wait for the real Creative Windows 2000 LiveWare 3... And I reinstalled the standard WDM drivers the sound is working with them and I don't need more features atm... You remember that you checked some thing in "Control Panel/Sounds and Multimedia/Hardware/Creative SBLive/Properties" ? You enabled 'Do not map through this device' ! And I guess you re-installed your standard WDM drivers by NOT CHECKING 'Do not map through this device' ??! Hehe, I did... So go and ENABLE 'Do not map through this device' ! And WinOnCD 3.7 (I have the PowerEdition) will start up just fine... I just hope Creative will release some working LiveWare or I will find any cool Mixer working with Win2000... Because this installation description is just not good enough - I am getting much more error messages and stuff so I can't follow the author... And I really tried it again and again. Have fun
