Can't install Win98 SE on KT2 Combo

Just got 2 KT2 Combo boards. Tried to install Win98 SE and won't install - the install program sees HD, Formats HD, and scans drive - it then says it is copying files needed to install windows. Then instead of starting off the actual Win98 SE installation program (with that beloved installation window) it stops, asks to remove the floppy and then reboot. After reboot it cannot boot because there is no OS installed. I have also tried to take another HD with Win98 SE preinstalled and let it reconfigure itself in the new machine - that work work due to unrecoverable errors with various VXDs.

Give complete PC specs. includding P.S. brand and AMPS. it gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v.

Help installing an athlon on a kt2 combo

im trying to install an athlon xp 2200 on kt2 combo, the board is on the default settings fsb 133. when i plug in the cpu, and power up, the board tries to boot, and the beeps and shuts down.
tried the same board with a duron 1.3 and fsb setting at 100 and board boots fine.
any idea on whats happening? pls respond asap.

What kind of ram do you have? It needs to be at least DDR266 (PC2100) or PC133 SDRAM, depending on which slots you are using. You can't use both types either. Post some detailed system specs for better help.

Installed 10.6.8 Server Combo Update, but can't update Server Tools to 10.6.8?

Hello all,
I installed the 10.6.8 combo update for my xserve earlier today. I also need to update the server tools to 10.6.8 since I am trying to create a new NetInstall image from a .dmg that is running 10.6.8.
The server tools update has always shown up in the past in Software Update, but I didn't see it this time around so I went and found what looks like the download link for it: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1403.
Anyway, I get it downloaded and go to install it, and it says my Server HD does not have Mac OS X installed, and it will not install the update.
I have the 10.6.8 Server Tools installed on my imagebuilder, but it isn't setup with the right workflow and it would be a hassle to get that going.
Has anyone else had any problems getting the 10.6.8 server tools installed on their xserve?

@m.mills: I'd be interested to see what your workflow looks like for your image using the 10.6.7 SIU on 10.6.8 Server? I have been struggling trying to get NetInstall or NetRestore to work using this tool. For NetRestore, it tries to install on the MBP, but fails after a minute or two with this error:
Unable to set '10.6' as boot disk: The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."
I am using the 10.6 retail DVD as source. I have a very basic workflow:
* source DVD 10.6
* Enable Automated Intall; install to volume name: 10.6, erase before installing
* Apply System Configuration Settings - (apply computer name and local hosts setting)
* Add 10.6.8 combo pkg
* Create image
I also have a machine running 10.7 Server and have successfully created a 10.7.2 image, but 10.6.8 has been giving me fits. It would be nice if I could create a 10.6.8 image on the 10.7 server. Is it possible to do this?
Any Help is appreciated.
thx

Oracle forms 6i (Pentium 4, Win98) "Can not install"

I have a "customized" Oracle interface that was created in Oracle forms 6. I have successfully used this form on Windows 95 Clients but now I must switch to a Windows 98 O/S on a Pentium 4 machine. I actually had to download a special Oracle Installer to install the 8i Client, but I now need to load a newer version of the Forms "run-time" and can not install it from the 6i forms download. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

Forms 6i installation in Windows98 should not give any trouble. Hope you
have checked the memory. You should have 128MB memory to install
Forms6i. In Runtime you may not actually require that much of memory but
to install you reuire that (Please see Hardware requirement for Form6i).

How to pick best drivers for KT2 Combo-L?

Hello,
After I wrecked my old MS-6340 board I have purchased a used MSI socket A board in order to assemble with a internet capable machine for my parents with all the old parts I still had. On Ebay I have found a KT2 Combo-L for a reasonable price.
I have formatted the old hard drive and installed XP Pro (32-bit) and Office 2003 already. It is running like a charm
But how do I know how to pick to optimal drivers for this board? I am asking this question since I know from this forum that 'THE NEWEST DRIVERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST ONES'........
I saw that this mobo supports 'Live Update'? Would that be the best way to start? Is picking the optimal drivers a question of 'trial and error' or is there someone who can give me some tips of how to proceed here?

KT2 Combo Shutdown Problem

I recently purchased an MSI KT2 Combo mobo and set it up with an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU and 256MB DDR400.
All was going well until I went to shut the PC down from WinXP SP1 for the first time. The system shutdown like it was an AT mobo, ie. the message "it is now safe to turn your computer off" message appeared instead of the PC just powering off. I have been unable to remedy the situation despite many changes to the BIOS power management settings.
Can anyone help me with this? Or is my mobo faulty? Thanks.
Morphius.

Need more help please.
Tried all suggestions in thread: Changing HALs on win2000/XP (ACPI/APM/APIC)
NT APM/Legacy Interface Node installed and enabled. This brought up the "APM" tab in power options and APM is enabled.
PC type is "MPS Uniprocessor". Tried "MPS Multiprocessor" - no go. I think that if I could get the type to "ACPI Multiprocessor" it should work but not sure how to do that.
BIOS settings are basically all power management options set to on except for events which are all disabled.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

KT2 Combo L + Radeon 8500

a friend of mine cannot get a new setup with a shuttle ai61 mobo to work with a radeon 8500 video card. since he wants to spend as little money as possible, i've advised him to get a KT2 Combo L and an XP2200+ cpu (about $110 altogether). this way he can re-use his pc133 ram.
before we buy though - question is, has anyone had any success/problems running a KT2 Combo L with an ati radeon 8500 video card?

Radeons (Ati) cards are most allways tricky to install so generally speaking think you can find some probs.

KT2 Combo Troubles

I have a KT2 Combo Board, and some troubles with it.
My 1st Ram is a 256mb Infineon PC133 CL3 (SdRam)
When i switch the Ram Timings to CL2-2-2-5 i only get 2-3-3-6 in Windows
The only thing which has changed is the CL number.
The same happens with all other Memories i tried. (256mb DDR PC2700)
If i select all Auto in the Bios i also only get 2-3-3-6
What can i do?

You mean a newer BIOS than yours already installed? Check first
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=408&kind=1
There is a Beta BIOS on the German site, that officially changes the wrong recognition of the board:

I can't install Windows 98 on a KT6V-LSR

I used to be able to dual boot Win98 and 2K from different partitions on a single 80Gb hard drive. Needed the Win98 only because my old Matrox capture card has no drivers for the newer OS’s. When I changed my mobo to an MSI KT6V-LSR (Via KT600) I couldn’t get the Win98 partition to work (I didn’t have to wipe it through 2 earlier mobo changes. I guess it couldn’t stand the 3rd)
The previous setup was like this, all on a 1-1/2 year old 80gb Maxtor:
Primary partition, 753 mb, FAT32, Windows 98
1st logical partition, 11gb, NTFS, Windows 2K Pro
2nd logical partition, 25gb, FAT32, for video files
3rd logical partition, 40gb, FAT32, for all my data, downloads, etc
I could get the standard Windows OS selection page upon boot. This time whenever I try to install Windows 98 I get the above “serious error” message right after the partition check by scandisk. It's not the installer's fault, it's been with me for a long time. Worked flawlessly before.
I am able to install Win2K on NTFS or FAT32. It is only when I try to install Win98 that I get slammed with this error. I can’t use my capture card and that’s where I earn a little.
The drive passes both the Maxtor diagnostic software (full system scan) and the Seatools generic test (full system scan).
There are no viruses detected (my software may be faulty, though).
PartitionMagic 7 fails to create the small partition I need for Win98, saying “cannot create partition, anti-virus software may be running” But I have disabled any virus settings in BIOS and I am using PartitionMagic from the boot diskettes.
Really stumped here. Can’t afford to buy a new drive right now just so to transfer my files and wipe the current drive.
In summary, the drive allows me to install Win2K on either NTFS or FAT32. But it will not allow me to install Win 98, whether on a Primary partition or the first logical partition (i.e. after Win2K has already been installed)
I have since been able to install Win98. But I had to connect the Drive to a Promise Ultra66 IDE controller.
Question is, is the new hardware really incompatible with the old OS?
THEN... On two consecutive nights, my registry in Windows 2000 got corrupted (hive corruption). And I have had to reformat and reinstall both times. I am worried now that the mobo I got may have serious faults.
Hope you can give me quick feedback on this.

Hello,
You should be able to use windows 98 with this motherboard.
Can you try this.
Format the drive with only 1 partition (80GB FAT32)
Use maxblast to do this.
Remove the Ultra ATA66 PCI controller.
Remove the sound card.
Plug the hard drive in IDE cable 1 (set it to master too)
Plug your CD drive to IDE cable 2, set it to master.
Reset your CMOS
Now when you power up, enter the BIOS
go to Frequency/voltage control
Set the CPU to 166Mhz FSB (it should be running at 1.667Ghz)
CPU Ratio = Auto
go to advanced chipset configuration >DRAM settings
Set the memory to 333Mhz(166Mhz)
Go to Standard CMOS setup.
Press on your Hard drive
Set the mode to LBA
Also change your boot order to
Floppy
CD ROM
Your hard drive
Go to integrated peripherals
Disable the onboard sound
Now save and exit.
Boot from the windows 98 CD
See what happens.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Help! I can't install OSX 10.4 on My G5 iMac 1.6

Hi.
I hope that some kind soul can help me. I own an iMac G5 1.6 non-Intel machine running OSX 10.3.9
I wanted to upgrade to Tiger so I bought a set of iMac G5 non-Intel OSX 10.4 install discs off Ebay thinking that they would run. The problem is that when I load the first disc it won't let me install anything, shows me an alert message saying ‘this software cannot be installed on this computer’ and asks me to restart or start from the install disc. Then I get the same problem over again.
What could the problem be? Can anyone help me please? Many thanks in advance.

Can you install Tiger onto a drive with data?

Hello,
I would like to ask if you can install Tiger onto a hard drive that already has data files on it. I have a 250 GIG hard drive and it already has 10 GIGs of data on it. Can I install Tiger on this drive or might it corrupt my files?
Its a long story but here is a quick summary of why I am attempting to do this:
I have a 350 MHz Blue and white G3 (rev 1) with two hard drives: the original 12 GIG ATA drive and a 250 GIG SATA drive (internal) connected with a 1S2 Seritek SATA controller.
My 250 GIG drive has two partitions but only one is available to Tiger. You see, by accident I originally formatted my 250 GIG drive with an extremely small partion (32 Megs). I meant to type "30 GIGs" and by accident I typed "30 Megs". Oops That was supposed to be my OSX 10.4 volume. Its too late now - its too small. So I only have two choices for a place for TIger: my 12 GIG drive or the other partition of my 250 GIG drive. I am reluctant to choose my 12 GIG drive because it already has an older OS on it (OS 8.6).
I was concerned about installing TIger on the data partition of the 250 GIG drive because that is where all my valuable data files are - 10 Gigs of data. I don't want to risk scrambling this data in any way.
Is it safe to install Tiger onto this partition with my data files? Or is the possibility it might do something to my data.
Its only a temporary install so that I could burn my 10 GIGs of data files to DVD for backup and then I will start all over again and erase the entire hard drive and reinstall from scratch onto the 250 GIG drive once my data files are safely backed up. (I will not partition the 250 GIG drive i nthe final install - it will be one big partition.)
One other question:
When you format a disk in Tiger are there options to "low level format" or "zero all data" or will just a straight "erase" do the job sufficiently? I bought my 250 GIG Hitachi SATA drive new and so I am not sure if it worth the time to re-erase it with "zero all data" (if that is an option in the Tiger Disk Utility). What is the best formatting option to prepare this drive in the most beneficial for Tiger?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks scb and Jeff,
Jeff, you have me thinking now. I think I will be safe and try another idea. I have a 4 GIG internal SCSI drive I could use to backup my data in 4 GIG sections at a time via my Adaptec 2430 SCSI card. I could then move this hard drive over to my other G3 onto its 40 GIG hard drive. This would be done three times to take off all my data and essentially provide a backup before I install Tiger. Good idea. You are right. It is better to play it safe.
By the way 8.6 can handle HFS+. And yes, I should eventually buy an external drive solution - probably an enclosure. I saw one called "coolmax" [1]. It could hold a SATA drive and it had USB, firewire and also an external SATA port.
And also Jef thanks for the info about formatting drives. I am glad to hear it is not important to zero all data if you don't have to. I am not concerned about havig anything to hide and so yes, I will just click "format" - that should be fine. Zero all data takes such a long time and I would rather avoid using it if I don't need this feature. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the new safer direction.
