Dear friends,

i recently POSTED about an old pentium II motherboard. But today i received a newer socket 370 Pentium III motherboard and transfered all of my old COMPONENTS over to it. however it did come with a ATI video card. after i hooked every thing up i turned it on it refused to show any graphics. i then tried to swap out the ATI for an older compaq video card but still nothing,

thanks for the help

im not sure about the mother board thought, ill try to find out and post itsound's like you need to hookup to the original video output and go into the bios and deactivate the on board video and enable the ati video card you should be able to view a SCREEN from the motherboard video out putok, i fixed that but now when the BIOS comes uo its says "A Disk Read Error Occured" and its a brand new maxtor 120 Gb With Win XP installed. Please Help!

I also got more info its an "Award Modular BIOS v4.51pg" and the motherboard is socket 370 with the letters VIA on it.


Thanks

If XP was not installed on that Maxtor with the current MBoard you have switched to the chances of a successful boot are slim...XP is not hot-swappable from machine to machine...

It will struggle with 128M of RAM as well.It will continue to struggle unless you have a real XP CD that says "Microsoft" all over it that is not registered on another PC.I talked to microsoft and they said for me to manualy go through all the boot files and reinstall them, insted i just wiped the hard drive and started from scratch. Since its a regested upgrade copy i just had the service code changed due to the situation.

Thanks For all the helpNow win xp stalls at 41% at the WINDVD file.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
