I was recently given an old digital celebris GL5120. It has an amd k6 200 cpu, i430fx chipset, 80mb ram (i know only 64 is cachable). Its possibly the most temperamental computer i've ever had. Its acting very strangly. At first it had a 4gb hd with windows 95 and that worked fine. I took it out and replaced it with a 8gb and 2gb hds. The 2gb has Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.11. For the 8gb I was going to put on some form of windows nt or 2000 and linux on seperate partitions. The computer worked fine in windows 3.11. When I wanted to install another os, I had to use a a floppy which forced cds to boot first as the bios has no support. Linux refused to get passed the initial stages of booting. Maxblast, for partitioning worked fine. Windows 2000 froze after loading setup at "setup is loading windows 2000...". I also tried an xp cd and had the same problem. They had some form of ntoskrnl.exe error. I also used a windows 98 boot disk and that worked. Now after all this annoyance nothing works. It freezes after post when the floppy is supposed to boot and the floppy light comes on. I've tried changing ram to different 2x8mb simms, the cpu to a pentium mmx, the graphics card to an s3 virge and the hard drives but nothing works. Even before this it had a tantrum if you even touched the cd drive or floppy during startup.

"Maxblast, for partitioning worked fine. " I can't imagine why you wanted or thought you needed that? There may be a reason that it was given away. DOS and Windows 3.1 sound excellent for it. Linux and anything beyond Win95 or NT will remind you what "slow and unfulfilling" is all about.
