Mekrel Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Your problem may not be with drivers, I have experienced this in the past with unattended Windows Distributions. Try burning your CD slower than what Nero tells you the disk can handle, also try with track at a time setting and determine maximum speed.

BeboSaab Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I don't think we are on the right track with that, no offense, because it's not just the Nlite CD that fails, Windows XP SP1 SP2 Windows XP 64 using the floppy drive and about 5 different driver disks fail in the exact same way. I've used the floppy method with the DFI drivers 6.66 6.70, older versions, versions from the NVIDIA website, every method fails at Windows is now Starting screen.

I had a similar problem and I could solve it by increasing the voltage of my RAM sticks.Good luck! Fernando Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeboSaab Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Hmm, well I am running at 2.7v up from the stock 2.6v for about a month on my PATA drive with very good stability in 3D games and Windows. I suppose I could try that once but Im not sure how it would help if my system was near 100% stable before and installed Windows easily before.

Have you ever tried to enhance the RAS>CAS latency? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeboSaab Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 It's running on tight 2 2 2 5 RAM timings, but I tried using optimized defaults which have very loose timings and it did the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeboSaab Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I increased the voltage from 2.7 to 2.8, and I set the RAS>CAS from 2 to 7, same results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your booting drive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeboSaab Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Yes I boot off the PATA drive currently, I want to boot off the RAID. If I disconnect the PATA drive from the system I get the same results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
