OK, that's the easy half. What happened to the PNP/PCI Configuration
page?
And Integrated Preipherals?

Here goes.
PNP/PCI CONFIG.
PNP OS installed: no
OK for now, though you might change it to Yes later on.
Reset config. data: no
I'd try changking this to Yes. It's a one-off setting that gets executed
during the next startup, causing BIOS to fully redetect and recinfigure
devices. It will say No the next time you look.
VA boot from: agp
IIRC, you're now using a PCI video adapter. Change this to PCI.
PCI vga palette snoop: Disable
PCI slot 1/5 IRQ Pri.: auto
" " 2 " " : auto
" " 3 " " : auto
" " 4 " " : auto
IRQ 3: PCI/Pnp
4: "
5: "
7: "
9: "
10: "
11: "
14: "
15: "
I don't want to get involved in micro-managing IRQs, and it shouldn't be
necessary if you've stripped the system to minimums and disabled onboard
sound (see below.)
INTEGRATED PERIF.
Enhanced ATAPI perf.: Disable
Might try enabling this, as it directly affects the CD drive and you're
having trouble with that. I'd try it, anyway.
On board IDE: both
IDE1 cond. cable: auto
IDE2 cond. cable: auto
onboard FDC: auto
onboard serial porta: auto
onboard serail portb: auto
serial portb mode: normal
duplex mode: n/a
onboard parallel port: auto
parallel port mode; ECP
parallel port IRQ: auto
parallel port DMA: auto
ac97 audio: auto
onboard legacy audio: enable
I'd disable audio until you get Windows installed.
soundblaster: disable
sb i/o base address: 220h-22fh
sb irq select: 5
sb dma select: 1
mpu-401 : disable
mpu-401 i/o address: 330h-333h
fm port (388h-38bh): disable
game port(200h-207h): enable
I'd also disable the game controller until Windows has been installed.
Now I have another problem.
Came in this morning, turned on system with floppy in. selected start with
cdrom support and the system is freezing at:
This driver is provided by Oak Tech., Inc.
OTI-91x ATAPI cd=rom devise driver Rev. D9wv352
copyright-----....
Device name :OEMCD001 (this is where it stopping)
I've tried 3 different cd-roms and switched cables. and checked
master/slave
switches.
Well, if it's not due to a corrupt floppy disk, it unfortunately sounds like
you may have a broken motherboard. Do you have any bootable CDs? If you have
access to a CD burner, you can make your own bootable CD version of the
Windows Startup disk.
