corrupt or missing system.sav during upgrade

I'm moving a Win2kSP4 installation to new hardware per KB article 249694. Both machines are modern and use the same HAL, etc. I get to the final step 8 to perform an in-place upgrade by running Winnt32.exe from the Win2kSP4 CD. After reboot during this upgrade, as Windows is starting it...

Abit KR7A-RAID constant reset; bad MB?

I have an Abit KR7A-RAID v1.0 machine that suddenly won't even POST. It was running fine until found dead and wouldn't reboot. I've swapped RAM, power supply, AGP video card, CPU, pulled all the PCI cards, cleared CMOS -- no change. Lights come on but the screen stays blank. The HD's spin up but...

W2K SP4: go or no go?

I checked the svcpack.log file in the WinNT directory, which logs events of service pack installs. In my failed installations, it's recording an event, "DoInstallation:RunInfProcesses for ProcessesToRun Failed". Does anyone know what that means? :confused:

W2K SP4: go or no go?

I've tried to install SP4 on a working Win2kSP3 workstation a couple of times now. Each time, it gets near the end, after all the file updates, then pops up an error message saying "An error in updating your system has occurred". It then gives the option to bail out of the install at that...

Win2k p-p network shares

Why is it if I share a folder on Win2ksp1 on a peer-to-peer network, with full permission for everybody and no user password, when attempting to connect from a Win98 machine it asks for a password. Clicking through, or trying all known passwords, fails. Is it a NetBIOS issue? TCP/IP is the...

Following my initial installation of Win2kSP1 with normal ASPI enabled, v4.28 VIA driver set, block size set to 32kb, RAID throughput measured by WinBench99 was a tabletop flat 22MB/s from start to finish. Well, I disabled ASPI by modifying the txtsetup.sif file on the boot disk and reinstalled...

RAID0 Performance

:confused:How do you install the stock Win2k busmastering drivers instead of the VIA 4 in 1 drivers? As I recall, after going through the regular win2k install process, I was running the 4.26 drivers out of the box. I didn't have to install them from CD.

RAID0 Performance

:confused: But I've read in online reviews of this MB and the earlier KT7-RAID that HD performance increased by about 80% going from single drive to RAID 0. None of the reviews had any negative experience. Meanwhile, I'm seeing no increase. What's the point in selling a feature that has no...
