Hi,
I have tried 4-5 times to get this to install from the image I downloaded today to test it out.
Config:
MSI K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum mobo
Athlon XP3000
3Gb DDR PC2700 memory
2 300GB IDE drives
1 IDE DVDRW
ATI X1600 AGP video card
That's all I have in this box and it wouldn't get beyond the black screen. I know the system works because I have XP Pro SP2 installed on it and booted it up before/after with no issues with and without the 2nd IDE drive installed. I could access the 2nd drive as well.
Is this not going to work or what? I can't see spending $600 on the HP box, I can build something comparable for a lot less (at least $200 less nowadays) but I figured I'd only be streaming mp3's and maybe use it for backing up my 2 desktops on a schedule and maybe stream mp3's from my PS3 on occasion as well.
Any ideas?
Mike
