<3> i got to windows install
<3> i pressed f6
<3> went to install drivers
<1> oh no, not f6!
<3> then it said it didnt find any hard drives
<3> thats because i had the jumper on the wrong side
<3> (western digital 80gig sata)
<4> um, SATA drives have no jumpers
<2> lol
<2> IDE

<3> game machine
<1> odd.
<3> only happened after i installed my sata hard drive and floppy
<3> it was perfect before
<1> try unplugging the floppy
<3> does surgical tape do anything
<4> so you removed your existing HD entirely ?
<3> yea

<3> failed
<3> i cant take out the hdd in this pc
<3> its a pathetic compaq
<3> HORRIBLE
<1> compaq game machine?

<3> i hate this comp
<1> unplug the hdd/floppy cable from controller and turn system back on
<3> and if it dont work?
<1> from the game box ?
<3> yea
<1> then try removing ide controller
<1> if it's a card

<3> actually i tryied that
<3> oh
<3> after the screen went black
<3> i cleared cmos
<1> removed controller?
<3> no
<1> try :)
<1> could be an IRQ problem
<3> what controller
<1> ide
<3> i added new hardware
<3> like a new mx518 mouse
<3> and logitech media kb
<3> and logitech gamepad
<3> i took those p2p things off
<3> im just using the usb ports
<1> anything extra, **** that isn't mouse/keyboard/ethernet/monitor, needs to be removed
<3> should i use those p2p converters
<1> then see if prob is still here
<3> the agp port is kinda weak
<3> like worn out
<3> but it still should work
<3> no reason for it just to do that without moving it
<3> shall i try that then
<3> hehe
<1> and reseat your video card
<3> i think the agp port may be dmged
<1> maybe
<3> i put tape on it to hold it down
<4> you saiid that was a a8v ? v as in VIA chipset? replace it, those are pieces of ****.
