There was a post or two over at VDr about DOS support for USB devices, and I believe that someone had found some drivers that may work. But,...
Yep, stranger things have happened :) Taking the battery out does normally clear it.
It's actually kinda strange that the CMOS settings didn't change. One of the ways to clear the CMOS settings and revert to the defaults is to...
That's what I'd look at first. You'll probably want to check & reset all of the CMOS settings after replacing the battery.
And thank you for posting back with the fix. It may help someone else in the future :)
You may be up against a BIOS limitation. Check in fdisk again to see what the total available drive space is. You should be able to see that in...
And another way: Left click on a .DOC file once to highlight it. Hold down the Shift key and right click on the file, choose Open With. Then...
Yep, keeping your AV program up-to-date is pretty important. Glad you were able to get rid of the virus :D
My best guess would be that the hard drive parameters in the CMOS needed to be changed. There are some settings (in some systems) other than just...
Normally, all you do is short the "Clear" pins for a few seconds - no more than 30 seconds usually - then put the jumper back in the "Run"...
Some models have a 4 pin connector on the motherboard near the battery that's used to connect an external battery. Might want to check that out....
Have you changed the CMOS settings as appropriate for the drive(s)?
There are a couple of variants on a virus that will do what you're describing: W32.Magistr.39921@mm...
Good luck :) Yep, I march to a different drummer :D
You'll have to enter the CMOS (System) setup and find the setting to disable the onboard sound in there. I can't remember right now which key...
Double check the data cable connection to the floppy drive. Normally, if the light stays on all of the time it indicates that the cable is on...
This is the sequence I use: Put the feet on the case. Check jumper settings on mo/bo. Install CPU & fan on mo/bo while still outside the...
The large round keyboard connector is an AT connector, a small round connector is PS/2; a rectangular mouse connector is a Serial, a small round...
I've installed a few and used a few Sony drives. The only thing I've got against them is the software - at least up to version 2. There's no way...
Newt's right - hardware solutions do offer the best versitility and reliability.
