when i try to check cd i get corrupt instalation file it says burned sucesfully??? I got XP (processor & os, hehehe)kr7a-raid, via4in1+agp4.10, plexwriter 24/10/40a, latest version of clone cd and nero and im completely clueless. Is it burners fault or just some weird software prob?????

Yes yes i instaled it and it fixed it(haven't had any problems since but we will see) is there any way to save that patch on the hard(or burn it to cd hehehe), so i dont have to download it over and over again i reformat???

Naah im on XP, hey mike we have the same mobo!!! Have problems with your sblive?

when i do that it seems that they are still there how would know for sure ???

yes i tried it, says uncheck the files that u dont want to install??? does that mean i uninstaled it or what?????

my cds have bad i/o something, come oNNN

do i enable imapi something(default burning software found in xp) when i have nero(it seems nero cant burn wmp format without errors) & clone cd. i instaled burners fix found on win update(before fix i managed to scrap couple of cd's). just bougt plexwriter 24/10/40a so i need to know about posible incompatibilities, errors between xp and burners/burning software.

nero 5564, aspi drivers ???, yes everything is updated

hmm colorfoul name, are you radioactive by any chance:D i suggest u replace your burner

yes beta versions of xp have problems with vid drivers, u need to upgrade to full version (2600) to be sure u dont get that again

u could use win98 or me floppy to boot to dos and update your bios, internet bios flashing is unreliable;)

another vote for popup stoper:D

Thougts im using 4.35 + agp4.10.

I need to buy a hard disk but i dont know which one. Heard some stuff about IBM, that they are fast and die often, as for WD my friend has WD20gb hard and it died once he returned to the store they fixed it(as u can fix something here) and it died again. Maybe it is just coincidence, anyway i would like to hear what u guys think .

Nope no problems at all, as for our sellers, they are worse than lawyers(rude, cheap, sneaky, selling stuff that hasn't been tested, outrageous, and not just some almost everyone, i didn't have any unpleasanties with them but my friends......)

Will IBM harddisk work with my kr7a(5 days old) + XP1700(got it today) (ahh life is good). Just kidding about the "will it work part", man im mean:D so ibm it is !!!

Quote: penny pinching says 4and20, well glad to know that u swimm in money, why dont u throw me, "poor entusiast" some. Did u ever try an athlon based system. Dont have anything against intel but i get mad when somebody badmouth amd coz they are "unreliable" and "crashing all the time", maybe thats why amd is stealing big share of the intels market, who cares if it crashes ten times per minute if its so cheap............<(insert sarcastic thougt there) I happen to have 2 amd sys(know great deal of guys that have them also) and i didn't see crash in ages(forgot completely that crashes are posible) tried all kinds of win based sys, ended with XP and im pleased with amd !!!!!!

Pros & cons, which one is better ???

Just a snip from hothardware, CONCLUSION: OK, time for the hard part...rating the boards and picking a winner. All of these motherboards are excellent, and they are all similarly priced, ranging from $130-$160 US...there really is no clear overall winner if you consider their performance and features. Instead of recommending one board over another, I'll give my opinion as to where each of these boards "fit" in the marketplace... THE ABIT KR7A-RAID: For the enthusiasts who want an excellent "pure" motherboard, that want to tweak their components for maximum overclocked performance, the Abit KR7A-RAID is my recommendation. Hardcore overclockers will find all of the options they crave, and this board hit the highest overclocked FSB in the round-up, while remaining very stable throughout testing. For what it's worth, the Abit KR7A-RAID has found a new home in my personal system (replacing the MSI K7T266 Pro 2). Based on it's excellent overclocking options, diagnostic LEDs, excellent ATA133 capable RAID controller and it's stability, we give the Abit KR7A-RAID a HotHardware Heat Meter rating of 9. THE ASUS A7V266-E: The discriminating user whose main considerations are stability and performance, would be very pleased with the Asus A7V266-E. This board does not have all of the overclocking options we like to see, but it's aggressive timings had it winning most of the benchmarks. The A7V266-E was also an extremely stable motherboard, and is equipped with very good on-board sound. It is an excellent board on which to base an Athlon system. There are reasons Asus is the largest supplier of motherboards in the world...Quality and Performance, and the A7V266-E has them both. Because of it's excellent performance, and stability but lack of any distinguishing features we give the Asus A7V266-E a HotHardware Heat Meter rating of 8. THE SOYO K7-DRAGON +: The K7-DRAGON+ is the "Swiss Army" knife of this round-up. It's gaming and synthetic memory performance scores were excellent, and this board is packed with more useful features than any other. From it's black PCB to it's purple PCI slots, just looking at this product reveals that this isn't your average motherboard. Gamers will appreciate that they will only have to add a nice video card to have an excellent rig, and users who like to show if their systems will love this board's appearance. The DRAGON+ is a capable performer and was also very stable throughout testing. The only things stopping me from giving this board a 10 are it's lack of DDR voltage adjustments and it's "slower" RAID controller, for now it gets a HotHardware Heat Meter rating of 9. THE MSI K7T266 Pro 2: In my opinion, the MSI K7T266 Pro 2 caters to the largest market. The DRAGON+ had better on-board sound, the Abit board overclocked higher, and the Asus board performed better, but the MSI K7T266 Pro 2 would probably please the most people. It has all of the overclocking options tweakers look for, and has excellent features like the D-LED Diagnostic LEDs and USB 2.0. It's manual and bundle were the best in the group, and this board was also very stable...it simply didn't crash. It may not have "won" in the performance category, but the performance was so similar between these boards that you can't really hold too much against the K7T266 Pro 2 (I'll only take away 1/2 a point). If the MSI K7T266 Pro 2 had an on-board NIC and performed a tad higher, I would have given it a 10 as well...but in it's current state, it garners a a strong 8.5. As for asus his processor speed was 1541(default was 1533). Not a nice way to manipulate benchmarks (asus gf drivers with wallhack comes to mind). No need to do that as they are quality manufacturer ;(

Is there any way to instal XP from dos with some sort of boot diskette or do i have to do clean instal from(for instance millenium)? Im running Win XP Pro Final version,i selected clean instal from millenium, XP replaced old files but that doesn't sound clean,i wana do it from DOS so i can be sure that im doing that CLEAN install.

Of course it rocks(gotta praise them, guys are cool and we are all croatians) hehehe.

Any abit mobo will do. Ill go from newest to oldest, kr7a, kg7, kt7a, kt7. First two use 2100 ddr memory while others use sdram and they all kick butt. Check rewiews on various sites !!! Abit rulez. Heil Abit.(im not german nor i indorse nazis)

I find XP alot faster than w2k, w2k crawled like an injured dog when i instal it but XP managed to beat my previous instalation of winme(especialy in opengl)
