If you have a bootable Win9x CD, use it to get to DOS prompt. When there, run "fdisk /mbr" (without the "'s) and you may wish to check with fdisk that your c: (or whichever is your primary boot drive) is set active. You can then remove the Linux partitions.

Thanks for your reply, cleared something up, that had been troubling me =) - Jan

Hello all readers, I've been thinking of purchasing a new graphics card, most probably a Radeon product. But I'm somewhat baffled by the numerous card manufacturers, and foremost, the price differences between them. How does a Sapphire Radeon 9500 Atlantis Pro 128 MB differ from a Hercules 3D...

I managed to solve the proble with this issue. On the MSI BIOS update page was a hint concerning the "tweak" BIOSes, of how to bypass the Lock String - thing, to use switch /nbl is the batch file. I did this to downgrade my BIOS to what it was (1.9) and now everything seems to be back to...

I noticed later on the glitch with my VCore voltage settings, and pushed them all the way to some 1,8V but it didn't help anything, so I don't think that's causing it. The sound accelerating was not the cause for system halt, Video Accelerating was causing it. I noticed this as I disabled AGP...

AFAIK Processor detection is not up to BIOS alone. If your mobo doesn't support other than P2, then you can't put a P3 on it. Check your mobo manual, it should state on the first 5 pages what kind of hardware it supports, all the way from amount of RAM to the speed of the processor... - Jan

I did indeed, format my C: (and D: but I don't dual at the time) drive before I applied Win98SE onto it. I found this program UniFlash, http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pvanleeuwen/ufhome.htm , which should handle flashing. I thought I'd give it a shot to downgrade my BIOS since the...

Yes, the BIOS flash was the ONLY thing I did. Or wai.. hmm.. I did remove an empty hdd, but I reinstalled my OS after that... And why would it cause this? Yes, I tried the failsafe and even the optimized settings. But it didn'r help. I have to try that removing of peripherals yet, tho it...

The flasher itself gives me an error message "The program file's BIOS-Lock String does not match with your system" and the it jumps back to OS... I noticed that the new BIOS used a newer version of the flasher, so I tried downgrading with both the old, and the new version. Both gave the same...

I checked the disk, but found nothing extra on it, just the files used for flashing... And I have turned on the option in windows to see hidden files =) - Jan

Hello, I recently flashed my BIOS on a MSI K7T Pro 2 mobo, from 1.9 to 3.2. Now I can't do any 3D tasks on it. Even as simple task as changing the screensaver crashes my computer. 2D tasks work so far, as like this posting, but as soon as I try to wach some .avi, or play or do anything that...

Or you could manually delete the program folders, use RegEdit to manually remove registry entries (use F3 to search or CTRL-F) and then re-install the apps... Any which way you want it.. =) - Jan :) AMD 1 GHz MSI K7T Pro 2 512 MB RAM GF2MX SBLive! 1024 Win98SE/ Mandrake Linux 8.0

If you're interested in that tweaking part, look under topic "How much memory can windows allocate" or similar... It's here in tom's forums... Soft->Win... - Jan :) AMD 1 GHz MSI K7T Pro 2 512 MB RAM GF2MX SBLive! 1024 Win98SE/ Mandrake Linux 8.0

As far as I know you can't change refresh rates in DOS. But that doesn't mean it's not possible, only that I don't know other... Unless theres a option for that in your monitor settings, dunno of that one though... either... =) - Jan :) AMD 1 GHz MSI K7T Pro 2 512 MB RAM GF2MX SBLive! 1024...

np... Let me know of the outcome then... =) - Jan :) AMD 1 GHz MSI K7T Pro 2 512 MB RAM GF2MX SBLive! 1024 Win98SE/ Mandrake Linux 8.0
