Dark Wizard Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Ok first off want to say tyvm to Angry and the few others that were very helpful. I got up and running first try YEAH So far no hitches ACEPT...... When i boot up everytime it sits at the windows bootup screen for 30 cycles "the blue bar at bottom of screen" so like half a min or so. My sig has my current setup. one thing i added that didnt seam to do anything for this issue is i did enable the SATA2 3gb option off the utility disk from Hitachi, and it still took as long . Im not trying to be impatient, but im sure windows has to boot up quicker then that. PLEASE somebody help me. Other FYI to is i havent done nothing in bios yet accept for load the optimal settings like suggested after i flashed the bios and i upped my voltage to 2.8. So any suggestion to help my windows to load at the speed that it should would be GREATLY appreciated. IM sure i just got something set wrong /shrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hymn Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 do as i have done, try slipstreaming your NVRAID drivers to your XP CD. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6907&page=1 --- it worked for me and decreased my startup time DRAMATICALLY... from 40+ seconds, to 2 seconds! Hope i helped you, Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Do you have a Western Digital PATA drive installed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wizard Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 nope i should have anything western digital, since my hd is hitachi, lets put it htis way i havent dl anything specific for western digital. Why do you ask, you have some suggesions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Western Digital PATA drives have a funky jumper situation. If you don't have the jumper set correctly it can cause long delays while the controller tries to sort out the drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller1236 Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Do you have you DVD Drive set to master not slave ? And are you running your memory on dual channel if not try them on the orange slots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wizard Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Ok Ex im using a hitachi sata 2 drive so no western digital stuff to worry about there. Miller i have the NEC burner on ide-1 and no jumper on it "running single mode" and only thing on the cable. My setup is in my sig My sata 2 drive is on the sata-1 slot out of the 4 i hve avaible. Also im not sure if this has anything to do with anything "it shouldnt" i have my HD partioned 10/10/30/28 with the OS being on the main C drive. forgot to add yes im running duel channel on the yellow slots, which is what was recommended by Angry with the bios in my sig.

Dark Wizard Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 Also wanted to add, i didnt install any of the nforce drivers from the lanparty cd or the ntune drivers , "was going by eds guide , that said thye were bad /shrug" Thats about the best picture i can paint for you guys, hope somebody can make since out of that. i think the only thing i installed of the lanparty disk was the marvell driver for the network, direct X 9.c and the antek audio drivers.

Hymn Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 thats the same thing that i said to myself after 2 fresh installs of XP... if the problem consists, do as i say and it will mostlikely solve your problem... i do too have a Hitachi harddrive, so its quite common as far as we go.

OceanSeasforMe Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/InK...eato/errror.jpg Check in Your Device manager for Yellow checkmarks. If you have some you probably missed a driver somewhere. I also read the guide and your remark in the post above about what you installed off the mobo Disk. qoute : i think the only thing i installed of the lanparty disk was the marvell driver for the network, direct X 9.c and the antek audio drivers. From the Guide : http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...04&postcount=49 “28. Install MB drivers from DFI supplied CD (Note: some drivers cause problems for some users; do not install Nvidia IDE drivers or Nvidia Firewall / Nforce Network Access Manager programs; do not install Ntune from the DFI disc).” I used the nVida Nforce System Drivers in the chipset tab off the supplied disk. You did also, correct ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wizard Posted August 20, 2005 Posted August 20, 2005 no i didnt ocean, i thought that was one i was supposed to stay away from on the Ed's step by step tutorial? if i wont hurt anything then i will go install those and try that. also am i correct in haveing the jumper completely off on the cdrom running it in single mode? in the bios its dected as a slave drive. or should i do cable selecet or should i just do master?
