is the disk initialized as MBR or GPT, you may use a bootable iso like Paragon Partition Wizard Bootable, it's free and lightweight other problem may be due to the adapter itself, i know that some adapters are troublesome, but i don't have the knowledge to explain why you should try the msata disk …

Hi all, I'm having a few issues trying to get a Windows 98 and XP dual boot set up. For some reason, when installing Windows XP, it just says that NTLDR is missing after the initial setup stage, despite the fact that it is definitely there (I additionally tried the recovery console to repair the …

I see, then it's hard to solve, you can try a geforce 2mx or 4mx with a driver not newer than 45.23, to see. In my (now defunct) duron machine i had an agp geforce 2mx 400 and it had good performance and excellent compatibility with said driver under any OS. image quality was a little bit bad sadly …

First of all, really nice machine, second, i think it's fine the computer. You should try some video card in the lines of the Matrox g400, the voodoo 3 3500 or a TNT 2 Ultra, to see if there is any difference in performance or compatibility. Still, for that processor, i would use something more …

it may be useful to make a -pin compatible- replacement with modern components and a replaceable battery, i'm a little surprised no one thought about that possibility before

Re: Can I get sound on a Asus EEC shell laptop with FreeDos?
Posted on 2018-05-02, 06:03
sadly no, as dos is a really old operating system, there were no point in make drivers for newer devices. also, while the processor is heavily underpowered for today standards, is far more fast than that dos games need, which is not good in almost half the cases. your best bet is XP/any flavor of …

holy s**t, that was really hard to understand. your best bet is to mod the dallas chip and put an external battery, since these chips have an internal battery. it doesn't matter if you can get another chip because it very probably has the battery dead too.

sadly, the board doesn't power up more, and i didn't even flashed the bios it's like sudden death anyway thanks a lot to all of you, i like vogons a lot respects That sounds like a capacitor or capacitors gave out.
