Flasche Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I know , only preventive action .jaclazSadly I cant blame you. In today's society having an opinion or the TRUTH gets you flamed and your rep destroyed . I don't know how but you my dear sir are a walking talking encyclopedia of information. I envy your knowledge .The given link:http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16713Since this link showed up twice I'm guessing this is the link I should look at, and look at it shall I.

Then Boot to DOS and read the BOOTLOG.TXT. If it is very short, read BOOTLOG.PRV. If it ends at Loading ESDI_506.PDR, you need the Patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencorso Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Fully remove ACPI. While "setup /p i" is only useful in a reinstall, my instructions are for removing ACPI from an already installed system. Yeah, but now you've hit jackpot! Install once more using the "setup /p i" (KB186111) and then use my instructions to remove APM (this post and a few following it) too, if that's not enough. But do read both references I've given here before proceeding. It's been a long time since I've seen boards giving problems with ACPI, but they sure are part of the 9x-specific issues (one not partaken by -- or not as serious in -- Win ME). But do add Xeno86's patched VCache.VxD to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32 folder before the 1st reboot. You actually need it, despite the fact the problems it solves are not the one you were struggling with, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flasche Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Opps forgot to mention about the hard drive. The hard drive is 160 gigabytes. Curious though it recognizes 149 gigs of the 160. I have a feeling that this is part of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencorso Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Of course I am. "It didn't work" doesn't work... what did you do and what didn't work? Of course LLXX's patched files work! But before you go into that, neither the BIOS does recognize the right size of the HDD, isn't it so? Now, that's not good. You need either an official updated BIOS that is able to recognize the HDD, or a modded BIOS, or else a DDE. Rloew has a DDE, but it's not for free. The BIOS needs to recognize your boot disk right, or you're dealing with an unstable system, and that's an inviable task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencorso Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It does work. It's time-proven. You must be installing it wrongly in some way.How are you installing the patched ESDI_506.PDR?I'm keeping at it because, with all due respect, it's not optative.It's the same world, and this world is controlled by physics, not magic, so:If it works for me, it must work for you.What happens where I am, happens the same way where you are.Unless we're doing different procedures, because different procedures can yield different results.Then again, the same procedure must cause the same results.

rloew Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The 149GB report is not an issue. 160GB = 149GiB. Some BIOSes report GB, some report GiB without making it clear whichThe LLXX Patches do not support SATA, only large hard drives.Resolve your ACPI Problems and retry the BOOTLOG.TXT test.

dencorso Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 SATA? Are you sure? The Acer Aspire One AOA150 is based on a ICH7-M, for sure, so it might have a SATA150 or a Ultra-DMA 133 or 100 HDD. The early Asus EeePCs all came with PATA from factory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hmmm....AFAICR isn't there a limitation of partition size, regardless of size of HDD with the patches?I'm referring to the "wrap-around" problem we encountered with the 98SE stuff (I had "participated" in that topic).

Flasche Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I can access the bootlog.txt file in safemode, and also it is long. What exactly am I supposed to look for in the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
