actually no, i'll act like a baby just like him, here it goes.
thegrants, you are a fag and a dickhead.
 
ok..on a different note..
 
Try to remove all your ISA stuff and reset bios defaults and then install. It worked for me

Whistler is or will be better than Windows 2000, if you don't think so, get a reality check and hope it doesn't bounce.

I am also an Expert yes wait for beta 1
 
Sorry jdulmage I couldnt help it. Anyway, I thought it was like this, if the detection hangs the computer and you restart the installation it checks the log and see where it stopped, skipping that part?

Well, if we're talking time-travel here, I'm a DR-DOS 5 expert. (Nobody said anything about traveling back in time.)
