Up The Creek Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 New here and got a major problem. My motherboard(Gigabyte GE8PE667) went crazy with beep codes and now while it's working i would like to recover my data before replacing mb and starting over. The problem is I can figure out how to start XPhome to make a repair. I hit F8 and select safe mode with it loads drivers, and hangs at agp440.sys. I try to use the repair from CD but system gives an error that ACPI isn't supported by the BIOS. It was the day before this mess started. I'm open for suggestions.regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 but system gives an error that ACPI isn't supported by the BIOS.Do double check your BIOS settings.It could be that you have an ACPI enabled HAL, whilst it is disabled in BIOS.See here for reference:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309283jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The Creek Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thanks for the quick replies. I checked everthing in the MB setup that I could do and even reflashed the BIOS. I been having beep code issues over the last 6 weeks and guess it just died when all this happened. I'm lucky I have 99% of my personal information(data) on the second hard drive. What I plan to do is get a new MB and set it up as RAID0. Will post some questions on another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
