It should work just fine.
Because on my dos computer the machine goes out after a moment i turn it on, anyone who had that conflict?

What kind of 486 system is it? Is it an actual HXC emulator or a gotek flashed with HxC firmware?
Is your power supply maybe having problems with the additional load from the HxC device?
Does it run when you only connect power?

Not really, now it just hang's and even with floppy drive's and cd rom disconnected now, the machine hang's and restart's

It can be 100 different things.
We need pictures and we need to know exactly what you have done.
Have you tried reseating the memory? Perhaps something got loose when you installed the thingy?
Perhaps some PSU cable got squeezed and got damaged and is now shorting against X?

All i did was unmountng the original 1.44 floppy drive from cable and power connector and then mounted the hxc floppy emulator to drive A, thats all really, adjusted the floppy emulator to be drive a.
i had forgotten i had the firmware optimized for amiga useing, can i flash the firmware to a diffrent version so its a virtual 1.44 floppy drive?

You diddnt happen to mount the 4 pin floppy power connector upside down?

I made red wire face the ide connector on the hxc.
If it's happening without the hxc even attached then it's going to be a tough problem to fix.
Can you describe what's happening in more detail, or record it with your phone and link us to a video?
Actually..i feel pretty dumb on my side, i have managed to make it find the emulator without trouble now and it doesnt even shut of now, so evreything is good here.
Needed to adjust the floppy emulator itself and it works like a charm now.
What was the problem?

Not haveing the emulator configured to run as a 1.44 computer floppy drive.
but it works now its running off the emulator fine.
Another thing, ive set cd-rom as slave under dos, and cant sem to find the cd-rom even it detected it as slave.
You need to load mscdex as well as a CD-ROM driver for a CD-ROM in dos.
Easiest way is to test with a Win98 boot disk and see what works for your drive. You can copy the files safely to a Dos 6 install, they don't care if its not 98 and update your Autoexec.bat and config.sys files using the boot disk as a template.
