You need to check that your MoBo chipset can handle windows 7
ICH6 and upwards I think and other chipsets hit and miss. The standard Windows 7 SATA driver apparently does not handle the ICH6 Southbridge properly on some Intel boards and some AMD boards have issues also and as far as I know you need at least ICH6 (but don't quote me on that) all I am saying is check things there. I've run Vista/XP and Windows 7 beta ok (that was iICH5 I recon) but had to drop it when I went to Win7 to many issues, especially x64/x86 collisions. xp still lives in the old hard drive in the cupboard Here's a clip Quote:

So sorry to hear that Chief
Not much you can do about it what about the old tower? or - Buy an empty or second hand useless PC just for the box, if big enough, rip out the old and in with all your goodies. |
