I recently upgraded from 3.1 to 98 witha new fic mb and an amd k6-2 300 32megs pc 100 ram. WOW what an improvement! But, I have the dredded yellow exclamation in device mgr. All drives are using ms-dos etc. I upgaded my bios from fic and have tried rem. the old refrences in auto exec and config sys with no success I even reloaded windows after remming the statements in autoexec and config sys. In device mgr. under recources I'm told the drivers are from fic in the bios and there is no updated or better driver. chipset is mvp3 and I've added the required upgrades for it. My drives are quantem 850 meg and a Maxtor 1.3 gig. Are these two drives just to old. Do the drives have to be using fat 32 to beat this.
HEELLLLPPP THIS IS DRIVING ME CCCRRRAAAZZZZYYYY!!!
Ok I'm better
Any help is greatly appreciated.

i feel your pain went thru the same...
you need the latest drivers for your hard drive or you will never get rid of this problem.

I have the same system board but the problem I'm having is that I can't boot to the floppy drive. I can read from it OK in Dos and Win95 but can't boot to it. I have set the bios to boot from a to c also and still get the same results.
Can anyone help me.
GOD BLESS,
CHAS

Maxtor, my hard disk mfg. says in their FAQ that this is a WINDOWS problem, and not a hard drive problem. They point to a Microsoft site. Microsoft says it is a problem, but there may be a cost for them to tell. If anyone knows the secret it would be great to get some help. I have seen this same problem posted many times.
Thanks,
-Alan

Make sure you check Microsoft's support pages at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q130/1/79.asp?FR=1&LNG=ENG&SA=PER and also http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q151/9/11.asp?FR=1&LNG=ENG&SA=PER.
In my case, that still didn't help. What did solve the issue was visiting the web site of the people who made the computer's mainboard, in my case Tekram. There was a patch posted in July 1997 - six months before I bought my computer which has had this problem since day 1. You should also try commenting out the device drivers for your CD-ROM in your config.sys and autoexec.bat files. It may not like VIDE-CDD.SYS or at least mine didn't.
I hope this helps someone.
