hello
i'd like to install a 40Gb drive on this PcShips M573 card
Thanks for helping...
40GB: 04/30/98-537+UMC8670F-2A5LDH09C-00
Found this link in another forum
http://wims.rainbow-software.org/nicks/
i used the file found there and drive is now detected but trying to install Win2k hangs at the first graphic part of the install (first splash, no num lock, no mouse...)

Did you change the UDMA mode as suggested ?

Are you sure you have a M573 ?
> Your ID belongs to a M537DMA33 - different I/O chip and no Sound/no 2.2V setting
To get 128MB SDRAM you need an 8-chip or 16 chip stick of SDRAM - I had a M537DMA with 256MB SDRAM on a 16-chip stick

I put the 537 bios, it works better as i can have access to my floppy again but when install W2k
Error Line 1 of inf file is incorrect
Just after when you have to press F6 if you want to add drivers.
I tried using W2KServer, Advanced Server, Patched SP1, SP2
No change.
With old bios i could pass the text part and was stopped during the graphical based setup...
Anyone got an idea ?
Because else that i think i am gonna try to install linux or lindows on this machine...
Anyway thanks for the help already given !

Red Hat 9 failed when decompressing disk image (?)
after line Image found at block 0
in Mandrake 7 i got a kernel panic...
Lindows 2.0 Setup failed also...
So i guess i am in trouble...
As i had less problems using previous bios (but hd not detected) maybe should it be better if i get my old bios patched as it seems the ones i found don't work the way i want on my motherboard ...
I can send it by mail if required
I changed memory, no card except video present on the board... so... if someone has an idea...
Else i will have to work under DOS 6.22... back to the ages...
Bye
