themadgaffler Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 i have read some threads on people having a stable system then adding a driver and having some bad issues. i was hoping to get some feedback on what not to load after i flash to the 623-3 bios (if i can ever get that to work, but thats another issue u can read about in bios factory). after i flash ill add my os and then start drivering up. thanks in advance.

Bigredhog Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Well I passed on installing the Nvidia IDE driver Win XP's built in IDE driver seems better for most. The NTune has been another one to steer clear of. I used the diamond flash to move to 623-3 went in no probs hope this helps ya!

themadgaffler Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 sorry - no floppy drive. i dled DFI_BIOSROM.rar, i extracted it and get a 25.9 meg DFI_BIOSROM.rar archive. i unpacked this and get a DFI_BIOSROM folder containing 7 folders with .bin files. i went to folder 6 and with nero 6 i burnt a bootable disc with the N4D623-3.bin file on it. i had my cd rom set to boot first in bios. i inserted the cd and turned on. it says boot from cd. then it says caldera yadda yadda. the last line is EMM386: warning address line A20 already enabled. then nothing happens. that didnt work obviously so i dled http://indabasement.com/DFINF4/bios/N4D623-3.zip from this i got a rar file i extracted got awdflash.exe and and N4D623-3.bin, i burnt em as data files (bootable cd) with nero 6 and get the same thing - nothing. what am i missing here?

Angry_Games Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 the file that pershoot made is an iso file that can be burned in Nero and is bootable if you did not end up with a .iso then you either downloaded the wrong one, or did not extract it correctly. Last I checked, Pershoot's instructions were pretty easy to follow, try it again (and read what he wrote carefully) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 ps always keep a floppy drive handy....i dont put them in my finished machines, but i have about 9 of them laying around just for these situations Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadgaffler Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 well i still cant get it. i have an old floppy, i guess ill have to go get some more floppy disks tomorrow. i dont think i can format using win 2 k though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 quick format (delete everything off the floppy) http://www.angrygames.com/files/win98.rar unrar this, they are system files for a win98 bootable floppy copy the bios file + the awdflash file to the floppy boot with it or format a floppy (win2k formats floppies just fine) download the Diamond Flash Image of the bios you want from dfi.com.tw run the exe and it will create a bootable floppy with the bios flasher, bios file, and batch file to do all the work for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
