i hope than your image will work.


There should be no issues with the image. I have dual SCSI drives in my mercury drive 0 is the OS and everything else, games, demos, and what not. Drive 1 is strictly for back-up. I have images only on that drive.

When I was tasked with making a smaller image for you, I created a current image of drive 0. Then I deleted all unneccessary files and programs from drive 0. Then I rebooted to make sure it would boot okay. Then I made an image drive 0 and named it Mercury.gho Then I restored my original image "Ghost.gho" and rebooted. Everything was great. Then I restored Mercury.gho and I had your image back on re-boot. NT4 with Mercury drivers, no games or demos and such. Then I transfered your image Mercury.gho from the D: drive, through the network to my laptop and contacted you to let you know it was ready for transfer.

Finally, I restore Ghost.gho back onto drive 0. A few days later I successfully transfer Mercury.gho to you through MSN Messenger. Followed by emailing you a copy of Norton Ghost 2003 with instructions on how to restore the image.

That's right. I did send a image to you. You wanted all the Q3D programs, Demos, and such.

If the image can restore on my machine, the image is good.

Your welcome to do and integrity check on the image itself. There's nothing wrong with the image. I spent quite a bit of time creating and testing it for you.

Hi TM30 Cheesy

Just checking in with you to see how it went over the weekend. I ran across some pics back in the early days before I acquired a Mercury Case and was building a "Mercury on a Budget". I thought you might enjoy...

... ... ... ...

The good ole days, putting it together was most of the fun Wink Notice the Mercury I/O Cable Shocked

Did the new motherboard do the trick Cheesy


...


You'll really appreciate the Image Quality once you've seen it. Screenshots don't do it justus Undecided

Nice Gamma742, I like the Fairchild A10-A Thunderbolt II also known as the Warthog Smiley

What is the name of that Flight Simulator, I do see Open GVS but I suppose that that's alogo like Wicked 3D uses hehe.

Does that Simulator also run well on the V6K as well with FSAA x8 @ 1024 x 768 x 16 in Glide?

That brick DNF as a brick. I returned it for a green one. I had the green one in there for awhile before I bought a Mercury case, that is the correct gx motherboard. I didn't take any pictures of the green one in there. I was mainly documenting the case mod (3 fans with fan bus switches) I did enjoy the case modding but once I found an opportunity on a Mercury case, the thrill was gone Undecided

Good Luck and Godspeed on your Mercury Project this weekend Wink

damnit! same shit like on the first board... first steps of WinNT are fine, but after restart i only get a blinking cursor, and sometimes it tells me something about "OSloder" but nothing happens... (NTDLR failure doesnt come up anymore...)

i tried a 40 ribbon hdd cable and a 3Gig Quantum Bigfoot HDD...

Have you tried this...

Quote:
If I were you, I would use http://www.mbhs.edu/~jaosborn/boot98se.exe Boot from it and run Fdisk and delete all partitions then create 2 partitions both using FAT 16 (say no to large disk support) C: = 2GB, D: = 2 GB. then install Win98SE to the C: Then install Windows NT4 to the D: This will automatically create a "Dual Boot" system.




We have to get NT4 working. Let's get 98SE going first on the C:

We can use BigFoot just split the partition 50% each. Plenty of space for what we're doing Wink

Wipe the drive first and use a fat16 file system. Then restore the image.
