Update....
1) LAN is working again. I reset the jumper to clear CMOS. Waited abit, the put the jumper back.
Booted up and low and behold, onboard LAN works again...who knows what caused to to not function
2) Well, the manual said you could put a CD or DVD drive on IDE3/4 but someone in another forum told me not to waist
my time trying, because it wouldn't work. So I moved my burner from Master IDE3 to Slave IDE2 where my DVD is master of IDE2.
They seem to play nicely together and WinXP recognizes the burner now....
which leads to another problem....
3) In setup, hardware devices, I set IDE 2 to Ultra DMA mode if available.
When I do this, it automatically sets IDE2 to PIO mode 2. I never had this problem on my ECS K7S5A board with
DVD and CD burner on IDE2.
Anyone know how to get that IDE channel to Ultra DMA mode?
4) The sigma box with 4 usb ports LAN activity LED does not work.
There is a connection on the back of the Sigma box that is supposed to connect to the Mobo for LAN
activity LED. Well, on the SY-KT333 Dragon Ultra, that connection is missing from the mobo.
It's there on the P4 Dragon Ultra, but they left it out of AMD version.
I've seen other forum members confirm this, and some people talk with Soyo about it.
In the review link I just posted, the reviewer couldn't find the connector on the mobo either.
It would have been nice to have the LED working, but no biggy, as long as the USB ports work,
which they do.
5) I'm still having the problem with WinXP locking on the "Shutting Down Windows" message when
rebooting or shutting down. I haven't figured out the problem yet, but I have alot of info online on
what maybe causing it and possible fixes for it. Haven't got a chance to try the fixes yet.
So when it locks up on rebooting, I hit the reset switch.
When shutting down, press and hold the power button for 4 sec.
.....damn, I hope I get THAT fixed soon.
Hope everyone else's installs are going better than mine!
If I find any other info that's of help, I'll pass along....hope everyone else does the same!
