god look i bought the products i posted, i plugged them all in the
slots according to the instructions (total time 20 minutes), i booted
the computer hit the delete key to bring up the bios during the boot
routine. i then set the bios to boot from the cdrom instead of the
floppy, saved and exited. rebooted with the figgin win2000 cd in the
cup holder and it recognized that it needed to format the new hard
disk i selected to let it format and when it was through win2000
installed and poof! btw i built 3 of these no problems at all.
i did not monkey around with partition magic or anything else, i did
not even use a floppy or disk of any kind other than the win2000 cd.
next question, maybe some one is getting educated. i mean i knew i was
in trouble when you asked where the speaker, hd, and start wires
connected to the mother board. have you ever looked at the inside of a
computer before? i wanna help you but your driving me crazy! do you
know there are news groups for this? there are even seagate hard drive
news groups, please do not ask what is a news group, at least to me.
your motherboard has the latest drivers and it needs no controller, at
all. maybe you messed with the dip pins on the mb and you need to
look in the manual to make sure they are at default. i did not even
mess with setting anything on the mother board. i bought that mb
because it had a soft menu, and i am stupid. in fact i bought all
those easy to use and well researched products because i was stupid
and had no time to go thru what you are now.
to summarize, slap parts together, boot win2000 from cd and enjoy! do
you think i am jacking around with you, not telling you some secret? i
have spent more time now with you than i did to build the three
computers, are you resourceful enough to try another hard drive and
start eliminating one possibility at a time? or to ask for help in a
news group related to this? you should have bought a dell, dude.
mb ect.
other's may be tired of this but as long as you keep draggin me in on
the list i will post back to the list. when you have mailed me
privately i have mailed back privately, what do you think i will tell
you some secret if you expose me or something. think.
