i upgraded from AMD 1.4 to 2400+ and system hung at mup.sys, i have two WD drives
master 80G slave 40G and the 80 is a upgrade from the 40 last year which i cloned
to the 80. OS is XP Home, mobo is Gigabyte 7vrx ver 2.0, F8 will bring up boot menu
so i can boot from the 40 and it WILL BOOT, Go Figure?
i also tried all the pci, mem, and msconfig fixes with no success. i'm back to the
1.4 for now damn.
