Not sure if it's what your problem is, but, when I was beta testing Windows 2003 I had a similar problem, turned out that the boot block antivirus was enabled in the bios, as soon as the setup attempted to set the partition as active, the system turned off. I turned the bios antivirus off & setup co...

If the floppy drive isn't active then pulling the chip & programming it is what has to be done... :? i no...

What I'd really like to find is weather or not there's an FIC bios out there somewhere for the VB-609 board itself. I'm not sure... Maybe this one? http://kuriaki.myftp.org:8245/Archives/BIOS/HEWLETT-PACKARD/FIC%20VB-609/ No I saw that when browsing through your collection... That's actually for Th...

What I/O chip does this board use ? FIC does have at least three different revisions of this board (1.1, 1.2/1.3 and 1.4). IT is possible they all use a different I/O chip, maybe one matches your board. http://www.fic.com.tw/support/motherboard/bios/pre/vb-601_bios.aspx I actually downloaded all 50...

The GF2MX should have more function integrated to play DVd movies than the old TNT2 and graphics should be way faster, too. You may even want to look for older ATI Radeon cards, 7200/7500 or 8500/9100 I'll try that card out if I fail to update this HP system.. Mr stephan_g I downloaded the ctmc pro...
