I have two hard drives and for a few days now the primary HD has been acting up, not loading windows and such, so i decided to try and install windows on my secondary HD when i installed and loaded into windows i then tried to install the drivers for my video card. After installing and restarting I got an error about device configuration so I went to check it out and it said that the adaptor was not present, didnt have drivers installed, or the drivers had not been installed all the way (Code 24). I then tried to reinstall the drivers to no avail, I also had the newest detonator XP drivers on that HD so i tried to install them as well, but i still got the same error, so I removed windows and reinstalled it and tried the same things again, but received the same errors. Does anyone know why? My primary HD is working for the moment and the video card works fine on this install of windows so i am at a lose for reasons, Thanks in advance.
My system is a P2 450 with a diamond viper v550, its using the tnt chipset. The OS is win98.
 
Not loading Windows—it hangs, or you get an error message? I would suggest testing your RAM using this memory tester (DOS program). If you're comfortable going inside the case, make sure the video card is firmly seated in its slot, and make sure the IDE cables are secure.
 
nah, thats not really the problem, the reason windows is having trouble i think is because its the same install it was 4 years ago, lol, i think its about time for a reinstall of that. But, i didnt touch my video card or case from the time it worked on my previous HD to the time it didnt on my new one, i tried reseating it but i know that wasnt the problem cuz it still didnt work. See, i got my old HD to boot, and im using it right now and the video card works fine, but the problem is im going to reinstall and im worried that i will not be able to get my card working again since it wouldnt work when i tried the fresh install.
 
can you get any kind of update from the MS website for win98?
try using *grrr* older drivers, or ones that you know are win98 compatible

    Not on the Headline News page just on the Forums page can we get that Featured and Trending on the home page?
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Since the home page is technically a forum, it now shows on all forum views. Still in the sidebar.
