Try to be systematic, do the following and let us know what happens: - jumper HDD to master/single drive, try only HDD on primary IDE - jumper HDD to master/single drive, try only HDD on secondary IDE - jumper DVD to master, try only DVD on primary IDE - jumper DVD to master, try only DVD on …

Could you be a bit clearer about which "ports" you are referring to? Normally a CUV4X-C has two IDE ports, primary and secondary. So if you say "working on IDE port" but "primary doesn't see anything", you are contradicting yourself because primary is an IDE port :o Also, are you connecting both …

Hey, So I tried to fix my HDD and DVD ROM to work again, however I found that my mobo is only working on IDE port and it recognize my HDD but when I tried to connect anything to my Primary port it doesn't see anything on BIOS (my HDD, DVD ROM) also my Floppy port isn't working too. I also changed my …

I used to plat the base game and the living large expansion pack on a celeron 300, it was slow to load at the startup but afterwards households with 3 sims(i don't have the coordination to control more sims) would run nicely. o a Athlon XP 2400+ i played the game with all the expansion packs and i …

Sounds complicated to set up a server to be honest, also I just got IDE to USB 2.0 adapter now so everything is fine now. except I have to launch the windows 98 setup through my VMWare using the physical disk, let it install halfway before it will detecting drivers and then swapping to my retro PC. …

Interesting, but what for? Also, according to what I see in that thread, getting it to work was difficult from the beginning. I wasn't able to get sound in DOS game on my SB live! and they said this one can emulating sb 16 in DOS. but now after I installed the liveware OG driver cd found in here I …

PS. I forgot to say I'm running complete edition. with all expansions of course. That would do it! This poor overfeaturecreeped Sims expansion performance is normal behavior (and is pretty much a way of life regarding that franchise anyway). You'd probably need a Northwood or A64 for all that. The …

Hmmm, can I install DOS to my retro HDD on my modern machine first and then take my HDD back to retro PC and install Win98 afterward? Or is it impossible. I can't create a new partition with fdisk for some reason (it saw that my drive is full but it's not, and the only thing I can do is format)

I forget one more thing, if I install Windows 98 by loading installer files from the hdd, will it boot if I format the whole thing first and then putting a bootable Windows 98 installer into the hdd? Do I need DOS for that first?

Do you have IDE ports on your modern PC? You could connect the drive from the retro PC to the new PC, get the Win98 ISO somewhere, copy over the contents, then boot the retro PC to command prompt only, and run SETUP from there. ้hmmm, interesting. I don't think my modern PC mainboard has IDE, but …

You tried VDMSound for Windows 98? You don't realize that it's for NT? Your "modern" PC is a Pentium III box? (ASUS cuv4x-c) What exactly are you trying to do? Please explain yourself better. 1. Yes I don't know that, I'm really dumb 2. No, my modern PC doesn't have any CD or Floppy Drive (the only …
