can't boot to windows

I was trying to clone the HD in my wife's Dell to an external HD. She has WinXP and I'm using Ghost 2003. I'm stuck at the DOS start up screen after initiating Ghost. If I select option 1 to run Ghost, nothing happens. Likewise, if I select option 2 to return to windows nothing happens. I...

Windows XP Home 2nd ed will not boot

OK, I put another HD in my system and made a mirror image of the origional. If something went wrong, I'd still have my data. I then disconnected the 2nd drive and ran fixboot and fixmbr from the recovery console, set boot order back to hard drive 1st and it's as if I never had a problem...

Windows XP Home 2nd ed will not boot

In my case, I'm up and running on either of my 2 WIN XP installations with the bootable floppy. Everything seems to be working, so I'm a little aprehensive about running fixboot / fixmbr. At this point, it seems very unlikely I have to do a fresh install (you have no idea how much stuff my...

Windows XP Home 2nd ed will not boot

start hangs on Verifying DMI Pool Data

I was attempting to run a Ghost back up. Not sure what happened, but I suspect boot files became corrupted? I can boot using a WinXP disc and go to Recovery Console. I have 2 Windows installations and see them both. I can get to C:\WINDOWS, not sure where to go from here? If I reinstall...

Nero

I'd like to create a slipstream CD for my WIN XP Home with SP2. I read an excellent article at winsupersite. Everything was going great until I got to the end using Nero Burning ROM. I discovered they've taken their demo down and any older version I found on the net showed as expired on my...

SATA drive + WIN XP Home

OK, I borrowed a SP2 upgrade CD. When it asked for the origional CD, I inserted my WIN XP Home CD. It now shows: "238473 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR]" "Unpartitioned space 238473 MB" I'm concerned about the "0" 's above. Does this look right?

SATA drive + WIN XP Home

OK, I found the floppy and loaded drivers after F6 on install from both connection locations on the mobo. Two drivers loaded (only 2 showing); "NVidia NForce Storage Controller (required)" and a Raid driver. Windows still isn't seeing the drive. Also tried directly without loading the...

SATA drive + WIN XP Home

Thanks fir the tips. Yes, I'm doing a fresh install on the SATA drive. My thought was to get this up and running, and only then connect my old drive to recover data. I have the SATA drive on the #1 position. The ones near the AGP slot are the #'s 3 & 4. I have to go out for a few...

SATA drive + WIN XP Home

I undestand that I need to F6 and load the SATA drivers during the WIN install. I'm having trouble finding the drivers. There's nothing on the mobo CD that says SATA. Is there a way to know which drivers on the CD I need? BTW, my drive is on the #1 positionn not sure if that's the NVidia one.

SATA drive + WIN XP Home

From what I've read, it seems I have to either load SATA drivers at WIN installation or use SP2. Looking at the mobo CD, there isn's a folder labeled SATA drivers. There is one labeled system drivers, is that it? As I don't have SP2 on the instllation CD, the other option seems to be to...

SATA drive + WIN XP Home

I just put together a rebuild using a DFI lan party UT nF3, AMD 3400+, WD SATA 250 GB drive, ect. The board sees the SATA HD, I can see it in BIOS and it's reporting the correct size. When I reboot with my WIN XP Home CD, Windows doesn't seem to be seeing the drive. I've read the other...

DFI LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb + AMD3400+

Can someone please direct me to a guide for setting up this combo? Just defaults, no o/c at this point. My searches are coming up empty. or If I just assemble this setup, will this board autodetect enough to get me up and running? Thanks
