Custom computer.. ASRock - K7841GX Mobo -AMD 2800+ 2GB 2700 DDR -XP home upgradefrom 98. 20GB maxtor.
Regarding a Custom build( see above) that DID work for a couple of months, Quit, and after a $45 repair charge at the shop, I bring my computer home and get ;"Go to Safe mode". Having done so I read;
1. Boot from floppy disc not found.
2. Boot from CD rom not found
3. Boot from Hard drive...ok
Then : Quit one or more memory resistant programs or not needed files from Configure and Autoexec files and restart.
What is all this? I can't even boot or reinstall Windows. How am I supposed to know what belongs where?
I had Win XP home ed. prior to problem.
In order to install, now I must first install Win 98, but it tells me to shut down. I do and it's the same every time.
What is it I need to delete, and how? I must have formatted the HD 3 times and also cleared cmos on board prior to attempting install of 98. I will not spend more at shop, to end up the same way. I purchased a used computer to use, but there must be a solution to this problem with the ASRock.I have no computer degree, but I'm not stupid either.
