A lot you won't unless during the setup of XP you stipulated your pc as a "standard PC" and not let it setup as a ACPI compliant PC. :smokin:

heres your problem: "IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System"

this is obviously one of those "ACPI compliant..." installs that should have been "Standard PCs"

do the F5 thing after a format, coz even according to M$haft the process to change from acpi to standrd, or vice-versa, is possible, yet is nearly guaranteed to kill ones system, i think going from acpi to standard is worse too

with the bios issue, i usually have a similar problem with drives under a few of my iwill-based PCs, running an NT-based OS

it seems if the boot order is set by first boot=...
second boot=...

the best thing to do is set first to FDD and the rest disabled, this always works.

however if u have one of those BOOT=a,c,scsi type of options, then i usually, set to that, and disconnect the HDD whilst i update bios...

its most likely a video card drivers' fault
