Wi98 & Compat. mode paging
Howdy,
I am working on a rather old pentium-1 system with Win 98 FE installed. The IDE controller is detected as "CMD PCI 0646 bus master PCI to IDE controller". However, both the PRI and SEC controllers are not working (yellow exclamation points).
Also, it is reported that this system is running in compatability mode on drive C.
Well, I understand this is mostly a real-mode driver issue, but I am not even loading my config.sys or autoexec.bat. I have just a few standard windows components loading in the startup.
any suggestions? I have tried reloading the drivers for the IDE controllers, and also forcing it to use the standard IDE driver instead of the CMD one, but no luck.
Thanks,
Al

Is this a laptop? If so which model, if not what motherboard is it? You need motherboard drivers probably.
You should also do a search in your registry for "noide" (without the quotes), if you find it, delete it and reboot.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

The only times I have come across this is when I had a virus.

OK, removing the NOIDE did the trick. How in the crap did that get in there?
thanks for the fix,
Al

Two reasons, one a virus can put it there, the other well windows just gets confused...
