Quoting bogi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello Bogi,
Yes, I have two disks, an old 8 Gig hard drive with some old operating systems on it and a new 200 Gig hard drive which had files from an old 8 Gig hard drive copied on to it. When my brother installed knoppix on the new hard drive it worked just fine, but when I burned my five libranet 3.0 CD's and then installed them on my new hard drive the installer said that libranet 3.0 was successfully installed and to remove the CD and reboot. When I did reboot I got GRUB loading please wait and then Error 17. I then after receiving your reply checked my bios settings and they are as follows: Virus warning: Disabled Processor number feature: Enabledd Boot form LAN first: Disabled Boot sequence : CDROM,C,A VGA Boot from : AGP Boot Up Floppy Seek: Enabled Boot Up NumLock Status: On Memory Parity/ECC check : Disabled Typematic Rate Setting: Disabled Typematic Rate: Characters/sec): 6 Typematic Delay (Msec) : 250 Security Option : setup PCI/VGA Pallette Snoop: Disabled Assign IRQ for VGA: Enabledd HDD S.M.A.R.T. capability: Disabled Report No FDD for Win 95: no When I saw that HDD S.M.A.R.T. cabability was disabled, I enabled it and took the CD out of the CDROM drive and saved the new bios settings and let the bios continue to boot and I still came up with Error 17. So I went into the bios again and reset HDD S.M.A.R.T. capability back to disabled and saved the bios settings again and put Knoppix disk back in CD ROM drive and rebooted and then composed this reply to you and sent it. Does the above list of bios settings help you to help me get my system working again? How do I know whether the bios recognized my new disk and my old disk correctly?
