dtpetty 0 Posted May 27, 2002 On the compatibility page, someone reports this MB is Windows 2000 compatible with the explanation "Download Windows 2000 compatible bios". Does anyone know where I can find such a bios. The latest from FIC is no help. Specifically, the problem is networking: Locks up hard (reset only) when I attempt to install either of 2 ethernet cards: Kingston EtherRx KNE110TX Linksys EtherFast LNE100TX Both of these cards work fine under 98SE. I have installed all of the patches from FIC. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted May 27, 2002 You need Via 4 in 1 patches. And Disable ACPI if enabled. Share this post Link to post
pr-man 1 Posted May 27, 2002 I have the special win2k bios from tech support somewhere on one of my cds back when i had this mobo. Now I think it requires you to have the version 2.0 of the mobo. I think. Share this post Link to post
dtpetty 0 Posted May 28, 2002 Thanks for the replies. I formatted the drive and tried a clean install. On the last reboot it locked up hard. Powered down and went to bed Fired it up the next day to see what condition my condition was in and lo and behold all was fine Loaded the USB patch and the 4 in 1 for good measure. Now on to XP 8) Yeah I know my board is a dinosaur but it still gets the job done pretty well! Share this post Link to post
