I installed a new motherboard last night (XFX Mach 4) along with Celeron 2.0 and 512 DDR PC2100. This is a micro ATX replacing my E-Machines 400idx.
Bios had detected my Hard Drive and DVD and CD Burner but I receive an error message: Floppy disk Fail 40 and cannot load windows after hitting F1 to continue - the screen goes black!
My setup is:
Pri Master = Hard Drive Pri Slave = None Secondary Master= DVD Drive Secondary Slave= CD Burner
A prior error message along with Floppy Fail 40 was :Secondary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed. I solved that message by replacing my old IDE cable with new cable from new mobo. Also, my power cable to case has different config pins from old mobo to new. My old mobo had 1 strip of 8 pins across and new mobo has 2 sets of 4?
I am a novice at this and would appreciate any help to get my PC up and running!
