| If you have an i865PE / 875P motherboard try to play with the IDE Settings in BIOS (change Enhanced Mode to Compatibility), it will help 100%  I had the same problem, btw...Edit : found my old post here: http://www.asusboards.com/forums/sho...threadid=50445 read it...

| It sounds like an IRQ conflict. Play around with the settings in the bios. Right now winxp is the better os gui wise, but linux is getting there with a better interface the will approach winxp soon. Linux has some strong advantages, mostly in its ability to be a good workstation/server computer. Also it runs much leaner. It's main advantages is that it is free, and anyprogram you need for windows has a free linux counter part that is just as good. If your new to linux redhat is fine but I recommend mandrake for linux newbees. There might be a problem with compatbility with your newer hardware (specifically if you use sata hard drives) under mandrake so you might want to stay with redhat 9. |
