Message: [QUOTE="Vasili, post: 1938428"] Today I set out doing a clean reinstall on WindowsXP Pro on my 2.5 year old desktop machine (1.5ghz Pentium4, 256mb RAM). There was no particular problem with the previous install - I just decided to do a clean reinstall in order to get rid of all the junk and clutter accumulated. Well, I've done it three times already today and after every attempt this is the problem: after installation is complete and Windows is up and running whenever I start the computer after the boot screen I see this: Novell NetWare Ready Firmware v 1.00 (940810) (c)Copyright 1991-1994 Novell Inc. All Rights Reserved VIA PCI 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet Adapter v 3.33 (11/09/2001) Analysing network Media type, this will take several seconds... OK RPL-ROM-ADR: 0007 95A4 E5E0 RPL-ROM-IRQ: 5 RPL-ROM-PIO: DC00 RPL-ROM-FFC: ---- and here the numbers sloooowly go up from 1 to 200 (takes about 5 minutes or so) and then WinXP starts up and everything works fine. Now, where could this Novell thing come from and how do I get rid of it? It's really annoying having to wait over 5 minutes for the computer to start! Thanks for any help! Vasili [/QUOTE]
