hey everyone.... i posted this in abit motherboards but i was advised that it might render more of a response here due to it possibly being an OS issue (windows 2000 pro).
i have finally made the decision to move my nf7-s to my main rig with my xp 2000+. new cpu and new memory are on the way and a new vid card has been ordered. i am or will be stepping into the world of overclocking! (my first attempt). until all my parts arrive i just want to get the board up and running. not sure how many of you feel about scsi and the nf7-s board but i tried using an Atlas 10KII (u160) and a proper U160 card for my OS (win2k pro). as soon as the drive finished formatting i got some message stating that basically the os could not be loaded due to improper termination ray ray ray. i made sure the drive was terminated and all should have been golden. i thought for sure the drive was pooched until i took it out and replaced it a maxtor ata 133 converted to ata150 using an promise sata150 tx2 plus. i am now getting the same messages and i can't seem to load the os on to the drive at all. i also made sure that the onboard ata was turned off. is there a setting i am missing in the board setup somewhere?
again....any help would be cool and i am sorry for the long *** post.
thank you.
