This should get me going quite well. Have a great holiday!

I'm looking to upgrade to an Athlon system. Can anyone recommend any Abit mobos that work well with XP? Thanks in advance,

Just wanted to see if any one else has experienced this. My basic setup is: Abit BE6 PIII 450 256 Mb PC100 G400 SB Live! Value I installed XP and XP Plus! on my secondary partition. (HPT 366 controller prohibits a straight upgrade from 98SE). I set it to one of the themes, Nature I think. The next time I started the system it began to constantly reboot. On boot up it would get to the startup audio, then some minor screen corruption would occur. After that it would reboot saying it was fixing some cross mapped files. It never stopped. The weird part is that since I had only set an XP Plus! theme on my account and not on any of the others the rebooting only occurred on mine. If I logged into my wife's or sons' accounts everything was fine. When I did logon successfully a problem report, which I sent off to M'soft, said that the G400 drivers were the likely cause for this. I tried to use the W2K drivers but without success. I had to uninstall XP Plus! in order to logon to my own account. Anyone else experience anything like this?

Thanks Lance!

Has anyone tried the Win2000 drivers for the 1200U on WinXP? Thanks,

PR-Man: I did what you suggested and was still unable to upgrade my Win98 SE system. The system kept finding the HPT controller every time no matter where I had the HDD connected. I was, however, able to install to my D: partition. Since I was able to install to a separate partition on the same system shouldn't I have been able to upgrade my main Win98 SE c: partition? Somewhat confused,

I have a BE6 also. When I tried to upgrade to XP it spit out a report saying the Highpoint HPT366 controller PROHIBITS me from upgrading. i think I'm gonna have to buy a new mobo and processor setup. AAARRRG!!
