if you use a pci vga the onboard part will be disabled automatically.

if you use a pci vga the onboard part will be disabled automatically.

AFAIR not on the i810, it will stay active with PCI VGA in use, it only disables with AGP VGA card in use. With PCI VGA you have to search the Bios for a "Primary VGA" or "VGA boot from option" (or similar). Set this option from AGP/integrated to PCI VGA

Sorry for mistake in post title the HDD i have is 120GB, limited to 32GB to install Windows XP Pro SP2.

In windows i can use the 120 GB, but the autodetect funtion in bios no works and freeze the system, I have to stay in auto.

And for the VGA PCI card, my motherboard don´t have and AGP port is and Slimline desing and only have 1 PCI with a risecard to 3 PCI, and only feature show in bios is to boot with addon VGA card, but this don´t disable the integrated i810e vga card.

I take a look in the bios with Amibcp, in the Configure Setup Data > Chipset Setup, show a option for onboard VGA - Enabled / Disabled, but this is not activated in the bios.

Thanks for the support

the internal vga can be disabled. just re-enable the option with amibcp or clear bits 6 and 7 in register 70h (e.g. set them to 0).
mainboards with the i810 chipset never have an agp port because the chipset doesn't have any external agp pins. it was never meant to have an agp port.

Hello again I have modified the bios with the amibcp activating the option to deactivate the IGP, but it does not work the IGP continues appearing in the manager of tasks of windows.

You can send to the e-mail the bios modified directly cleaning bits 6,7 in register of the position 70h, if you can patch her to give support to hdd of 120 GB

Thank you very much for the help
