Driver disk, can't get far enough into boot process to install drivers (safe mode won't let me)<br />
<br />
Anyhow - got it working now using a boot disk to fool it into thinking it was win98...<br />
<br />
Thanks - BTW, it wasn't ebios, as many people say, that file is completely unimportant.<br />
It was the UDMA IDE channels conflicting, as it didn;t pick them up properly, and was trying to use old ones with a new HDD.<br />

Upgraded to a TX-Pro motherboard (AGP-100MHz, build in sound etc- for a K6-2 300)<br />
Anyway - windows spotted new motherboard - tried to use its own drivers, and wouldn't get very far into bootup.<br />
Runs in safe mode only.<br />
Several reinstalls later (including disabling pretty much everything bar the HDD and motherboard + CD) its still doing it.<br />
Two of those were clean installs.<br />
The only thing in the bootlog.txt that failed was ebios.vxd (which I then installed out of the cab) but it still failed.<br />
What am I doing wrong?<br />
And more importantly, how do I fix it?<br />
(Motherboard is unbranded, model code is M577)

Cannot re-install ebios.vxd?
