You may want to plug the CMOS battery out and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
(remember to unplug the power first)
Make sure to remove the 6600 first, then re-install the battery.
Plug the power cord back in, power it up and it should go into the BIOS.
Set the Video to the onboard...
Max temp on the 3800+ X2 is 71C, so you have room to spare.
Many other things affect temps.
What are your CASE temps at idle & full?
Do you have adequate airflow through the case?
Motherboards usually require more than 1 standoff to attach to a PC case.
If you are using none then I would say your odds are HIGHLY against you
not frying the board out.
If you are missing just 1 or 2 then it would depend on the mount locations
themselves and how much the board flexes...
What OS (XP or flavor of Vista)?
What BIOS version? (most likely the cause as they have fixed USB issues 3 times)
If your friend believes anything a lackey helpdesk support jockey who is following a
script written in another language then they are used to, I wish him good luck in life.
Modern OS's do not care whether the device is turned off in the BIOS.
Generally, Win2k-XP-Vista (many Linux distros also) override any
setting you select.
Make sure that it is also 'DISABLED' in the OS also.
Did you read the 'USER GUIDE' (MSWord doc) that comes with the download?
They were also nice enough to include a 'HELP' guide with the GUI interface.
You may want to check those out before proceeding.
It is a known problem with that keyboard.
They go bad all the time.
If it is still in warranty, they will replace it.
If not, you can always try getting them to do it anyway.
Microsoft TechNet has a GUI frontend for Robocopy if you don't want to
bother using the Command Line.

You can also type 'Robocopy /???' for a list of all command line switches.
I have had good luck with the Omega Drivers with WinXP SP2 and same card.
Omega Win2k/XP driver
Vista not supported as of yet.
The ATI WDM did not work for me either (7.08-7.10)
Hope AMD gets their act together soon....
A couple of questions first.
1. Do you have Windows Updates (auto) enabled?
2. Have you updated any drivers as of late?
3. What BIOS version are you using?
Have you cleaned your User Directory and Windows/Temp directory lately?
Have you checked what services are running and CPU usage? (i.e. Task Manager/Performance)
It should mount to the HD carrier that you had to remove to install it.
(not sure what you mean by "took the cover off the back")
If it's mounted correctly the PC will detect it with no problem.
Also, if the drive is not partitioned it will give you the error you have.
Just curious, but...
I know this is not the reply you were probably hoping for, but here goes.
Anytime you are making a drastic change in hardware, it is invariably better
to start with a "Fresh" install of Windows. (you did not say what the previous hardware
consisted of - assuming P4 with HT)
The time...
First, remove the power cord.
Locate the jumper near the battery on the motherboard and
place the jumper from the 1-2 pins on to the 2-3 pins and leave it for
a minute or so. Then replace the jumper from the 2-3 pins back to the
1-2 pins.
Reconnect the power and boot the machine. You...
There are several possibilities as to the problem, all requiring the system to be opened.
1. A bad DC-DC converter board
2. A loose or damaged battery connector board (especially if using the 12-cell battery)
3. A loose or damaged power connector board
I'll bet on #2. Replacements are...
Most likely it is either a improperly seated/bad video display cable or
a bad VGA Board.
Replacements are available (just need to know whether it is a 32 or 64mb VGA board).
If you plug it into an external display and it works it is the cable, if not the board (or both).
NVRAM refers to the BIOS.
I have seen bad CMOS batteries cause this issue, so remove the
power from the PC, then remove the battery. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes.
Reconnect the power cord and try booting without the battery.
Failing that, it could also be the Power Supply not delivering...
Did you reinstall Win2k from the restore CD's or from a MS Win2k CD?
Are there any error's when you look in the Device Manager?
Really confused as to where an external (?) NIC will help you solve
your problem....
Yes it is the Power Supply.
The Dimension 4600 was one of the systems affected with
a PSU with bad capacitors.
If you remove the PSU and open it up you can confirm it for yourself.
HP no longer supplies Recovery Discs.
It does provide the Restore software via their HP Recovery Manager.
You need to create the disks yourself (you should have created them before using).
Either CDR's (up to 10+ required) or DVD+-R's (1 -3 required) can be used.
To use the Recovery...
Don't know if you bought it when they first came out, but 10 yrs+
is pretty darn good. (doubt a newer model will last as long unfortunately)
Good luck in the move. . .
If you are using the HP software as stated, remove it, the SCSI card, and
power down.
Boot the PC and let Windows detect the SCSI card. It will then detect the
scanner. Let it install the generic HP 6C driver. If it fails the "Test Scanner"
with the same error, you are out of luck...
