Thanks a lot Ribcage. I didn't dare doing that, the last time i looked into it.

Well, something which crossed my mind. Making a virtual partition between a tiny part of the ssd, which would host the mbr, and the nvme would host the rest of the system. Mind you, it has to use inherited bios. Starting to get over my actual head. I need to delve back into microsoft website...

Thanks a lot GotNpoRice. Well, that defeats the purpose of using NVME. What would be interesting is the speed of bootup. Otherwise, SSD is good enough. Anybody knows the oem manual for W10 ?

Hi everybody. I'm not a frequent visitor here. Sorry. I like to play with old Tyan server boards. And have two, with NVME, which are not bootable. Obviously. At the time of Windows 98 and 2000, it was possible to have a boot sector on one disc. And the rest of the OS, on another disc. For...

Thanks a lot Schizrade. I have tried this method It's been two weeks, on and off. I can't get past clover.

Hi everybody. Well, may be ten years i haven't been here. At the time of old athlon Mp multiprocessor platform. I, by sheer luck, managed to install my system partly on the IDE, something like boot, boot path. And the rest onto the scsi drive. I'm playing with cheap and old gear now. A...

Hi everybody! I have an old tyan s2882D, twin opterons 285, 4GB of memory. One 200GB ide, for storage. One 73gb scsi as the boot. i enabled the onboard sata, connected a 200GB sata hd, ans did a copy of the 200GB ide, no prob. Then changed the parhelia graphic card, for a zotac, since the...

Thanks a lot Gotnorice. Well, thankfully i know the différence between PCIE and PCIX. But i didn't think of the blady 5 volt thing. I hope the seller takes it back. The Zotac 610 should do the job. If this can be of any help for other readers, the GE force 9300 pci doesn't work in PCI-X slots.

Uber Scheisse! I knew that PCI-X was fit-able into a PCI slot, but, the big but, the contrary doesn't work. I'm feeling rather stupid! Now, i have a PCI card, and can't use it. Any idea?

Guys, a daft question (i gonna pass for a dumber now) the ebay GEforce 9300 claims being 128bits, and the zotac 64bits, in terms of grâphic cards, what does this mean?

Thanks a lot Stoly! I've read about this. But what about the plastic connectors?

Thanks a lot guys, by the way, i'm no gamer whatsoever. Working with sketchup, audition, photoshop. So, i need a decent card, not something mad! I get back to what happened, a win update, then one day after the card started bugging, just after i connected a sata HD. That was the first time...

I'm using DVI>HDMI cable to the 42 incher. Si i could be ok with this card?

Ok, Thanks a lot StormUP. Would be cool if i could find something like the KX mixer but for graphic cards. Would enable me to see if it's card related or software related. Since it's not a cheap card, i'm not happy that it seems to fail. Thanks again.

Any opinion about the Zotac GT520 PCI? http://www.zotacusa.com/geforce-gt-520-zt-50610-10l.html

Ok, thanks a lot StormUP. I know the 690. Have you ever seen the kind of problem i have? Because, it seems extremely weird that with windows drivers for an VGA card, i don't have the problem whatsoever, but can't have the definition up where i'd want it. I can have 1024x768, when my...

Hi guys. Long time no post. Well, i have an old Tyan S2882D, which i quite like. I've had a matrox parhelia PCI 256 for years on it, but after an update from Windows, (XP X64) it bugged, i have tried prety much everything, flashing the bios, reinstaling the drivers, nothing sems to...

Yep, on my gal's laptop. And i could say that i'm ot that impressed. Ok, i could look into 7, but i'd rather stick with old OSes that i know. Thought not Win 98 :D

I meant automating all services like backups, upgrades etc! I usualy get rid of system recovery and a lot of other things on my comps. I should admit i'm more used to the old ways around 2000 pro server and XP pro. Thanks again for your help. Max.

Hello Stonecat. Thanks a lot for your reply. Well, i'm affraid i'll have to admit, it's a burned one. On a 32 bit machine. So this may be the problem! This is all getting too complicated for me. I might just order XP pro 64, or a windows seven. Thought i'm a big disliker of vista, and i...

Hi guys. I can't seem to be able to make this computer start to do a fresh server 2003 64 bits install. It doesn't boot on the CD. All bios options that i know are set so it should find my CD drive and the scsi hard drives. I've tried most things, like installing from another computer onto...

Hi everybody! Well, nobody will remember me here i bet. I was wondering would it be possible to install a 32bit XP pro on first partition of disc0 and a 2003 server 64bits on the second partition? I'd say not, but who am i to say. I'm just a little tikerer. Thanks a lot guys. Max.

Hi OldMX. Thanks a lot for your reply. It's a sound blaster live 5.1 PCI Labelled Creative EMU 10K1 audio processor (VDM) under device manager. Bye. Max.

Hi everybody. I seem to remember some talk over here about Xp not wanting DLL or drivers other than it's own. Well i'm instaling my soundblaster card on a PCI-X port, with PCI compatible mode enabled. On this system http://satamax.free.fr/machine2.jpg based on a K8S pro...

Hi Guys. Thanks a lot for your replies. Well, just downloaded Ubuntu 64. Just a question thought, is it like way back in time, do you need to prepare the partitions with a linux tool, install windows or in this case server first, then install linux? Thanks a lot. Max.

Hi everybody! Well, my first time on the dark side of the forum :D I gonna build a kind of multitasking, sound editing, TV, stereo computer based on this http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=290256515824 Well, no choice now, i've bought everything i...

Yep, exactly! :D Well, i will have spent more money than i thought on this one, but at first i didn't want to resell my old one. But thought, hey, what the heck, i don't need two dualies. I'll get an old 1250mhz athlon from a friend for free, for the workshop computer. As i wanted one for...

Hi Catweazle. Thanks a lot for your reply. Well, i kow it's outdated tech, and sure is a big improvement. I'll spend some on teh memory, and use a 64 anyway. Just to make sure to make the most of the board. And anyway, ECC ddr being not that mainstream seems to make it cheaper sometimes. Well...

Thanks a lot Deacon Frost. Well, i'm kind of joking with him. Been poping round here for 5 something years, but i'm a troll :D Yep, i've found a 2003 server X64, and i'm looking at a dead cheap XP x64 on ebay. And i'll research red hat, ubuntu and freebsd too.

I want to replace my thunder K7 for a K8S pro. But that would be only temporary, just time to wait untill i can buy two more gig of memory, and then install server 2003 x64.

Hi guys. Well, just a daft question. Is it possible to remove a motherboard of one type from a system and put a motherboard of another type and still manage to make the computer boot on the old XP install which was on the hard drive? Thanks a lot. Max.

Ohhh my great lord Pfunkman! We abide to you. You think i wait for any of your replies? I'll just wait for Catweezle and JB_hafo, who, at least try to be constructive. And if you smell a troll, that because you have the nose too close to the mouth :D

Pfunkman, you don't have the impression to waste you saliva or in this case your wrinten words on us mere mortals :D

Hi everybody! Thanks a lot for your replies guys! Well, to the overheated ones. Please spare me your comments. I won't go with Vice sta :D As for why, ask Catweazle Hi Catweazle. Thanks a lot for your replies. Well, i bought that board on a whim, because i thought my other comp was...

Hi guys. Well, thanks a lot for your replies. What i mean by cracked is pirated software for the purpose of reverse engineering or studying. The law is nowhere near as stringent in France as it is in the us i think. I've heard some stories, that vista had a "report to microsoft" or what i...

Ok, cool, thanks a lot for your replies guys! I have a few question about vista then. How easy is it to access and modify the registery? MSconfig easilly accessable, and doesn't have any bugs? How easy is it to deactivate automatic restauration points save? Gestion of the memory, is it...

Hey guys, at tyan, they say that my board hasn't been tested with vista anyway :D http://www.tyan.com/tech/OS_Support_AMDWins.aspx

Well, kindof :D I'd say, i'm an anti microsoft that doesn't have the skills to run linux. :D Soon, i'll have the means of learning linux, having two computers :D

:confused:duh?:confused: Thanks a lot for your reply.

Eh mate, i'm no flamebait. I'm just repeating what i've heard. I'm non native english speaking and should have said some instead of any! Sorry! Keep yourself well!
