Thanks anyway I figured it out. It was an intermittent 128 mb Sdram.
I removed it and it worked.

Hardware / Cannot install Video Card
« on: February 27, 2003, 08:21:38 PM »
I have an IBM 2139E6U 400 Mhz Computer with WIndows 2000 installed on it. I receintly had Comp USA try to install a 64 MB video graphics card in it but they said when they put the card in it doesn\'t boot. (It has onboard graphics).

1.  Any idea why ?  I asked about another motherboard (they had many there) and they said get a new computer.

2. In Winodws 2000 how do you get rid of the screen that counts down from 30 secs at startup ? Can that screen be modified to count from a lower number ?

3.  Is there any way to get rid of the Acces Aptiva screen that comes up first ?    

Thanks !

Software / Windows 2000 Error

When he tries to type Format C;  from the DOS Prompt that apears after installation of Windows 98 fails due to lack of disk space (it can\'t see the mostly NTFS 6 gig hard drive) it only formats a little 6 meg or so piece of the hard drive that is not NTFS, It doesn\'t seem to reformat the NTFS to FAT. How do you change the BIOS to alter the boot order ?  The Windows 2000
CD is ignored when put in the hard drive that\'s why he tried the 98 again. Could you be more specific on how to use the Windows 2000 tools ?  Are any of those rescue/install disks on ebay of any value ?      Thanks

Windows 2000 doesn\'t come up because the install didn\'t complete. Not sure what you mean by \'try  to format the disk in Windows 2000\'.  Do you mean try to format it then install Windows 2000 again ???  

Thanks

I reciently installed Windows 2000 on a 450 mhz PC successfully  
using NTFS when that option came up. It worked pretty well. I told my father to try the same with his 350 mhz AMD based PC and at
the very end of the install when it was completing final tasks
(REGISTERS COMPONENTS) he got the error Unexpected Kernal Mode Trap  ... Physical Memory is being dumped. He now cannot reinstall Windows 98 either as the hard disk is mostly NTFS ... any ideas as to how to correct this and install Windows 2000 ?  Would trying ot boot with a DOS floppy work and then trying to forma to FAT again be an option ?  Would greatly appreciate any help.  Thanks !
