I have this board found on second hand italian ebay. I had installed with a SATA hard disk (160gb) and Windows Xp SP3. I simply wanted to have the fastest AGP configuration in the world (or something like that) with this marvellous and strange board. All went fine, I installed a Phenom II 955 …

Confirm, I gave up. I destroyed that fucking thin client, too much angry now. I took off the 1gB RAM and the 8GB CF that I had bought expecially for this project. Now I forgot about these, and when I see little thin client I always remind this bad-ended project with this stupid problems that it …

Nothing to do, I tried with another WD Compact Flash 8GB installing Windows 2000... all the process of loading drivers from the CD-ROM and copying files to the CF works, but when it ask me to reboot the CF stuck at the boot with a blinking cursor forever. I am about to leave and give up this time, …

Ok, just to update you all. Installing the chipset Via driver 4.35 on the other hard disk, the Western Digital Caviar, in the Win98SE partition, run flawlessy. All is running good now, probably the Seagate drive that I used before, wasn't fully compatible with the chipset. To be honest, I never knew …

I am installing Windows 2000 now in another hard disk, Wester Digital Caviar 40GB. So I will try this different operative system and changing hard disk can exclude the problem that the other Seagate "could" have. I will let you know immediately.

what version of the 4in1 drivers are you installing? the latest is not always the best when in comes to the via 4in1 driver - for my 591Ps I always install v4.35 and I never faced an issue My guess is that he’s tried these versions of the 4-in-1, just a hunch mind you.

You can boot from CF cards. A few years ago, I had a thin client where I installed winxp to a 4gb CF using cf-ide adapter. You have to use a program called bootprep.exe I know you have windows 2000, but I think it works as well. More info about it here: https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/making- …

As I said earlier in the thread, I was in a similar situation with my Gigabyte board. Yours has a native CF slot, but the issues are similar. I think a smaller capacity might do the trick . In 2005 Compact Flash Rev. 3.0 was announced, and the size at the time were up to 8 GB. So what I would …

So at the end installing Windows 2000 with a master hard disk and the slave CD-ROM it works. We can so assume that the problem is the CF card on that system, even if in my primary computer it can be formatted, it can transfer files and read them? What suggest do you have about putting a CF as master …

Good point! However, the CF could have been replaced at some stage (which it was) and was curious if this is the one it had in it when you got it, and if it ever worked ? (probably not). Also, a little bit less salt would be appreciated. Yes, as you are correctly thinking, the CF was the one when …

Well obviously you won't be able to, but at least you know that the CF is the culprit. You'll have to find a CF that plays nice with the client. Different size/brand, industrial, etc. BTW , is this the original CF that came with the machine, the one you are using now? I simply found inside when I …
