Windows 2000 boot problem

I have just moved my system to the new MX-6585 board - Did an Windows 2000 "upgrade" to initiate total hardware scan.
System works ok, when it has booted, but booting is sooo slow.
Found a Microsoft article describing the problem:
SYMPTOMS
After you choose to start Windows from the Boot menu, you may experience a long delay (or pause) before your computer finishes starting. Note that this delay may range from 10 seconds to a minute. Also, this delay occurs before the Starting Windows progress bar appears, and your computer may appear to stop responding (hang) during this time.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Windows is installed on a drive or a partition to which Windows cannot gain access with normal Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) INT-13 or INT-13 extension calls. When Windows Setup determines it cannot use BIOS calls to start, it uses scsi() or signature() syntax in the Boot.ini file instead of multi() syntax.
My question is: Does MX-6585/BIOS in any way hinder the INT-13 calls to my Adaptec 2940???

Thanks! I sent the following message:
There are no IDE devices in my system, only SCSI. My hd is an IBM Ultrastar 36XP DRHS-36D. When I start the system up, the SCSI & MSI BIOS screens display normally, then BOOT.INI appears. After I select one of my NT-type OS's (NT4, W2K, WXP), there is a 30-second delay between the time I press the Enter key at the BOOT.INI screen and the time the OS actually starts to boot. (The BOOT.INI countdown time is limited to 5 seconds. I am *not* talking about this time.)
Since the same hardware was transferred from another installation (with a non-MSI mb) in which the same Adaptec drivers were used but this 30-second delay did not occur, the delay appears to be due to the MSI BIOS. Interestingly, W98 is also installed on this hd and it appears in the BOOT.INI list. When I start up W98, the 30-second delay does not occur -- as soon as I press the Enter key, W98 starts to boot.
Other end users have complained about this same boot delay. See the post "Windows 2000 boot problem" found in the MSI user forum here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=6970&boardid=10&page=1
I'd estimate our chances of success at 1%. Still, it's far better to complain and not be heard than never complain. That way, we get to complain even more.

Windows 2000 connection problems (solved)

I have a Windows 2000 box that was working fine with DSL and cable but when we moved and got FiOS, it didn't work. It has a RealTek RTL 8139(a) PCI fast controller built in to the motherboard that is connected to the port of the back of the Westell 9100em router. The symptoms were very strange: I could ping the router and load the router web page. However, I could not load any webpages outside of the router. DNS was working (lookups were fine and fast) but it seemed like no packets ever came back to me - it was like the TTL was set too small or something - they just died in the ether. Traceroutes would get about a dozen hops out and then time-out. I figured there was a problem with the ethernet controller, so I switched to a 10/100 Hawking USB-to-ethernet adapter. However, this showed the same problem. Then, I switched to a USB wireless adapter. Again, same problem. At this point, it was a total mystery. There didn't seem to be a problem with a particular adapter and I knew it wasn't a problem with FiOS since I had multiple wired and wireless machines (XP,Mac,Linux) in the house with no problems whatsoever.
I had read on these forums some problems people were having with RealTek 8139 adapters: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Problems-with-the-Fios-20-5-connection-speed-in-my-area-d... so I did a google search on "windows 2000 realtek fios" and found this: http://www.testmy.net/t-19923 This was exactly the same problem I was having, so I did what was suggested: Uninstall TCP/IP and the Microsoft services/clients from the ethernet adapter, reboot, then reinstall the protocols and services... And it worked! I can now load up web pages with no problems.
Even though I was a 25/15 customer, I was pretty happy to get a 7/7 service (according to Verizon's speed tests) after not being able to get any http connection at all previously. For the heck of it, I tried the speed optimizer tool: http://www2.verizon.net/help/fios_settings/optimizer/ After rebooting the machine, I am now getting 25 down and 23 up on Verizon's test and 26 down and 13 up according to the speakeasy test.
I guess the lesson for me is that FiOS is unlike DSL or cable - you might not be able to just plug your computer in and have it work optimally or work at all. But if you tweak it just right, it works pretty well

crichter, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sorry, I don't know what type of encryption (if any) is supported by Windows 2000.

Netbeans and Windows 2000 Server Problems

I've tried to run netbeans on my windows 2000 server OS a few times. It usually doesn't work out and I have to go back to pcGrasp.
Does anyone out there know of any issues between netbeans and this OS. Is it worth it. I'd like to move away from the .net world and learn j2EE but I'd like to move up my IDE. Netbeans seems like the best choice. Does any experienced individuals out there know of a better one?
This was my latest error with netbeans. From just opening a folder??? I also tried to report it - I still have to wait another hour after I registered before I could HOPEFULLY find where exactly I can report it. Maybe thats why there are so many bugs. They make it impossible to report something they tell you to report to help out.
A java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException exception has occurred.
Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/issues.html,
including a copy of your ide.log file as an attachment.
The ide.log file is located in your C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.netbeans\3.6\system folder.
Thanks for anything

I use Windows 2000 Professional and have not problems.
I would suggest,
- ensure you have all windows updates.
- ensure you have JDK 1.4.2_04
- try eclipse which is also free (From IBM) http://www.eclipse.org/

GX623 Windows 7 boot problem

Hi guys, i recently have to reinstall OS on my laptop, and now i am facing "really long boot" problem, all drivers are correctly installed (at least i think so), i am fighting with this problem hole day, so i am pretty mad and tired right now, hope you can give me some advice
here is a boot trace picture hope it can share some light on this
i already reinstalled windows seven 3 times today, i tried to update bios to the latest version, even re-flash EC, all with no change :(
to describe this problem, bios post goes OK, no errors, all fast and smooth, as soon i see windows logo animating on my screen my HDD "stops" working (there is no hdd activity for a long period of time) well that can be seen on trace, and then after 90 seconds (at least trace shows that) it starts booting like before, system loads, and everything is working as it should

K8N Neo2 Windows XP Boot problems

I've recently built a new machine based on the K8N Neo 2 & Athlon 64 3500 and am having intermittant problems during boot into Windows XP.
Basically the machine seems to hang just as it gets to the 'Windows XP' logo. The screen looks blank, but if you look very carefully the logo is displayed very faintly. I have tried connecting the startup disk to both SATA1 and SATA3 with the same results as at first I thought it may be some kind of driver problem. I didn't have to install any SATA drivers during the XP install which surprised me.
I have also run Memtest86 on the two sticks of 512Mb PC3200 Geil Ram which seemed to test OK.
Once running the machine is stable, its just annoying that it may take 2 or 3 tries to get it up and running.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
The full spec of the machine is as follows:
K8N Neo 2
Athlon 64 3500
Geil Value PC3200 512Mb x2
Maxtor Diamond Max 9 80Gb (Boot Disk)
Maxtor Diamond Max 10 200Gb
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT

I will not install the nForce IDE drivers on the (I guess soon) reinstall. I've read that the PS/2 keyboard also could be the badguy in this weird boot problem but I cant understand why and how the keyboard could add time to the bootup sequence only sometimes, I guess that it has something to do with the XP keyboard driver ??..
Anyone with any other tips is welcome. Other than this weird problem my system runs perfect. MSI Core Center now tells me that my CPU temp is 45% (CPU speed 1004) (Downloading stuff but not doing anything else), CPU speed is according to XP 1.79Ghz and I use the Cool 'n' Quiet function, On what temp should I start to become alarmed and is there some way to setup something in the bios to shut down or warn me when and if the CPU gets to hot ?..
Thanks for helping a new MSI user out

Windows 7 boot problems after partitioning Mac Disc

Hi
I got a big Problem. I installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp. I have a 600Gb Mac Partition and a 150Gb Bootcamp Partition.
After Configuring Windows, I switched to the Mac OSX Snow Leopard System. I changed the Main Partition of 600Gb into 3 smaller ones. After this change I can't boot Windows 7 anymore. With the Option Key it doesn't show me the Bootcamp Partition. In the Sys. Preferences under Startup Disk it show me the Windows on Bootcamp Partition, but when I click restart, it shows me only the No System Disk Boot black screen.
I read a bit in the forum, but I haven't found the problem yet.
Thx for your help
NESTi

Your problem is quite clear and simple: you added and changed the parition numbers and table.
You want a linux style with a slice for swap, root, usr and data?
Use Mac's new Recovery - command d on startup.
Enable viewing hidden partitions in Disk Utility.
Use Windows DVD to fix and edit BCD
What you did is not supported. I know XP can't boot unless it is partition #4 or lower.
There is 200MB GPT, 128MB EFI, HFS+ 600GB would have been 3rd but GPT is zero, only now you have three where there was one.
Manage all partitions with Disk Utility in OS X
Check partition table health in Lion's Disk Utility
BCD for Windows 7 and Lion

Windows XP boot problems after latest BDM Installed

Blackberry Desktop Manager 5.0.1
Hi Everyone,
I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager on a Dell Laptop yesterday and after a reboot it took forever to boot into Windows XP SP3 and when it did the machine was completely unresponsive.
I eventually managed to get the Task Manager running and it turns out that the process called System was using 99% CPU constantly.
Safe Mode took 20 minutes to go into Windows and again windows was unresponsive to the point I was unable to open the Control Panel and uninstall BDM.
I tried Last Known Good Configuration to no avail and in the end I reinstalled the System from Scratch.
I couldn't be 100% sure it was the installation of BDM that caused the problem because Windows had installed some updates so I figured a clean install would be a wise move.
I clean installed XP and updated to SP2 and everything was working perfectly again this morning so I tried to install BDM again - same problem!!!
The system is in a state of unresponsiveness again and I am trying desperately to get into Safe Mode to uninstall BDM which will hopefully restore my PC to a working state.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try or has anyone else experienced this?
I am relatively new to the Blackberry world but I am competent with Windows XP and a manner of technical issues but this is something that is really causing me a headache.

I have had the same problem repeatedly since I first got the 'update avilable' message on my Dell xp sp3.
I've found that turning off communication speeds up the computer so that you can go to a restore point or remove the program through the windows add/remove facility. On my machine (Inspiron 6000) it is fn and f2 keys together.
I did NOT have to rebuild my system.
And thank you - I was beginning to think it was me

Ipod Software Causing Windows 2000 Boot Freeze

Hi All,
We loaded our new IPod software onto my wifes Dell 4100. After loading the software, the system will no longer boot. It freezes on the Windows boot screen every time. We've tried the F8 options and the system wont safe boot either. Help!
Rob

I'm having a similar problem. I may end up buying antoher hard drive and install the OS on it, using my current drive as a slave (storage) drive. this way I can get all of my files off of the original hard drive.
I have not found any solution to the problem yet.

Satellite A660 - Windows 7 boot problem

Hi, i have i think biggest problem i ever had. I got Toshiba Satellite A660. I got Windows 7 ultimate 64bit (just to know.) The notebook freezed so i pressed to shutdown button to shut him down.
Then i was trying to start him but i saw only "Starting Windows" for more than hour.. When I was trying to use repair disc i saw only green loading bar (like loading in windows XP) but nothing happend again. So I tried to use installation disc but I only get a "Starting windows" and nothing happend, same with USB boot.
Anyone could help me?
Thanks for every post.

I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
Can you or have you looked at the BIOS? I don't know what you can see/change but is the hard disc displayed and is the memory reported?
If you use the W7 disk or the recovery disc to boot the computer can you get to the Install Windows screen and select "Repair your Computer". If you don't see that screen you'll have to make sure the DVD or USB is the first boot device.
At this point come back for some more ideas or google for something like "windows 7 command prompt repair"

Yosemite and Bootcamp Windows 7 booting problem

Hello all,
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks from the App store on a MBP 2013 late which also had windows 7 installed on it using bootcamp.
I can boot into Yosemite and Windows 7 by going to start up disk and selecting the OS and then restarting but what I cannot do is use the option key to show me the boot disk options when I power on like how I used to do before the upgrade.
Is it the same for all, is there any work around or am I doing something wrong here ?
Thanks in advance.
Priyank.

What about booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the app?

Windows 7 boot problem on Satelite L300

Hi all
I have a Satelite L300 which came with Vista and was upgraded to Windows 7 and has been working sucessfully. The otherday the laptop wouldnt bootup and and the screen offers two options boot from the recovery disk or boot normally.
The recovery disks I have are the Vista recovery disks which it want to format the hard drive. The Windows 7 disk boots up but again wants to install Windows 7.
I dont have a boot disk for Windows 7.
Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this issue with the boot sector? or advise if I reinstall Windows will it overwrite the program and data files or just the operating system?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi flyal4,
Can you access the advanced boot menu of Windows? Maybe you can start Windows in safe mode
Windows 7 disk and boot disk for Windows 7 its the same. I think you got this message that you should start from Windows 7 and use the system repair function. This would be also worth a try ;)

Instant client on windows 2000, path problems

I have successfully installed the client and all work fine. But from time to time for no apparent reason php script gives an error
"Warning oci_connect (): OCIEnvNlsCreate () failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries."
I checked the environment variables, they are correct.
If you restart Apache, everything starts to work fine. What may be the problem?
(sorry for my English, it's not my native language)

I agree, but this is for the QA group and they generally test the app and access the DB using app only but now for some certain modules they want to check the data in the database but they dont know how to write SQL so they decided to use microsoft sql writer (I never used it :) ) and for that they want to setup odbc and for that they need client, so they are not going to use sqlplus and that why I just wanna install instant client on their desktops.

Satellite 1605cds: RAM not reported in Windows 2000

Hello
I have a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite 1605cds/4.3 (an amd k6-2 450 mhz based system).
It has 32 MB of ram on board, and a so-dimm slot to put in a memory of 128 MB.
But I have read this webpage:
http://fandelem.com/toshiba2.html
where it says that it can be upgraded with a 256 MB memory module!!
I have plugged it and it shows correctly 288 MB (32 MB on board + 256 MB on the slot) in the bios.
When I boot from the Windows 98 SE partition, it shows the 288 amount of ram.
...but when I boot to the Windows 2000 Professional partition, it shows a blue screen saying that the bios is not an enhanced ACPI bios. It says that I have to push F7 key during the installation of Windows 2000 to disable ACPI and install HAL.
But If I remove the 256 MB slot, Windows 2000 boots correctly without any problem.
I have tried re-installing Windows 2000 pushing the F7 key during the installation, but then Windows 2000 only shows the 32 MB of on board ram.
So, what can I do to run Windows 2000 and the 256 MB module??
The bios is the latest that can be download in toshiba web page.
Thanks for all and sorry for my english.

Hi
According to your description W2k says to update the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). In Windows 2000 there are several ways to troubleshoot issues related to the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that may occur as a result of misdetection, an outdated or non-compliant Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), or an incorrectly or manually installed computer type.
For further information please check this Microsoft support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237556
But as I know Toshiba support only the 128MB on this unit and if you want to use more ram you can do it on your own risk!
