I have a multi boot machine that I am recovering from a hard drive
scramble. I have 98se installed and attempted to install 2k to its own
partition. Ran install, installed SP4 from the disk I had made earlier,
installed driver for chipset and ultraATA drivers. The only cards I have
in machine are AGP adaptor, Sound Blaster PCI, and Linksys NIC. I
installed the drivers for the sound card and the NIC from the mfg
install disk. I was still getting a conflict from "other device". The
device mgr in its helpfull way told me that it was an error code 1, PCI
slot 0. The conflict is the memory address that the agp adaptor is
using. Neither property sheets would allow me to change the resources. I
tried to install the adaptor driver from the mfg disk and it refused. I
tried to remove the devices and install but it still refused. I spent 3
hrs restarting machine and deleting the devices and reinstalling. I then
attempted to use safe mode, to look for duplicate entries, but the
machine hung when starting and in frustration I formated the partition
and went to bed. The demon, microsoft, who is summened by the magical
incantantions of the clicks and pops of new hardware being detected was
defeted last night but the rest from my everlasting burden is only
temporary. I have awoken now and must grapple with the demon today.
Please make my suffering today on that I may bear. Offer thy wisdom o-ye
great ones. Assist me with determining what I must do to complete this
install, show me the process, guide me in the proper order to
slavelishly insert cd disk in the gaping mouth of the cd drive. Protect
me from finger prints and unbalanced disk as well as power surges and
outages. Take pitty on me and show your compassion. Help me exersize
this demon!!!!!!!! Your goodness shall be returned to you many times
unless your boss catches you posting to newsgroups and then well lets
not even think of that.
