viper 0 Posted November 23, 1999 My first PC: Cel. 450Mhz Gigaby(t)e 370p Board (LX) SB 64 PCI 128 MB SDRAM 100Mhz Problems I had: After the DOS part of (new)instal. and after copied the files on disk w2k said " WINDOWS START" or someting like this. This took several minutes and the result was that my HD swiched off ! I had to turn off/on my pc and press F6 and wait for the message " can't detect pc type" and select standard . Then everyting goes well. Share this post Link to post
chameleon 0 Posted November 24, 1999 hmm.. what type of disk ? how many partitions? what file system did the partitions have ? were the partitions empty or they had stuff on them? did you copy the win2k setup files to the partition or disk where you where going to install ? or install from another partition? how come you didnt upgrade ? did you create another partition from within setup ? how could ya hdd go off ? how could ya tell ? how come ya didnt reboot and continue setup ? why did you press F6 ? where did it say "cant detect pc type" ? where did you select standard ? you mean it installed just fine after this ? so it all worked well? then just remember this for the next time! ;o) chameleon win2kbox.8m.com Share this post Link to post
