Comment:
I have a GA-7N400 Pro motherboard, XP3200 CPU, FX5200 AGP graphics and two IDE Hard drives (40gb and 80gb). Windows XP Home ................All is working fine. I have decided to replace my two IDE Hard Drives with a SATA ( Maxtor 160GB). When installing the Windows XP Home (using F6 etc) the system hangs for over a minute after the PCI Devices Listing............It says "Verifying DMI Pool Data" ...........after a minute it will then boot up normally. I have done a search re the DMI and tried a few things all to no avail. I then saw on the Maxtor website (http://maxtor.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/maxtor.cfg/php/enduser/popup_adp.php?p_s id=KQDn2whh&p_lva=887&p_li=&p_faqid=1044&p_created=1020905052) about the exact problem I am having.
It gives a couple of suggestions to resolve it. Most of it is straight forward but a couple of things that I do not understand is "Ensure the LBA Mode option is enabled".......................what is that and where do I find it? The other thing I cannot seem to find or know how to do it is where it says "Disable both the Internal and External CPU Cache.".
Any assistance/advice/help would be gratly appreciated
