Panarchy Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 ^This one has BIOS recovery features...Also, the reason I feel the need to update (other then for peace of mind) is because that all this new hardware might run better with the latest update. Might've been a major update...Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 The board you have brought has no newer BIOS updates so leave well alone.The best of luck when you boot it up.Six operating systems????? are you having a laugh.Have you ever used a program like G-Parted to partition your hard drives, as you will need to use a program like this if you intend to put that amount of operating systems on, and you will also need to know about boot loaders.Just out of interest what are the six operating systems you are going to install?.

-pops- Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I've assembled well over a hundred computers and NEVER found I needed to do anything to the BIOS for any of them.Even if there is a BIOS recovery feature, you are taking unnecessary risks.

Alan2273 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Looking at the operating systems you want to put on one hard drive, there is no way it will happen.You seem to know nothing about partitioning or boot loaders and it is too complicated to start a thread on.As was suggested in an earlier post Google G-Parted and do some reading, as the things that can go wrong with trying to install so many operating systems are huge.Also you need to know which order to install them.If you do try installing all of them , the best of luck.

Panarchy Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 So G-Parted is still good?Thanks.How about booting from 2 harddrives (I learnt that I can only boot 4 on one HD) so I can have 3 on each drive.I have a 400GB & a 500GB.Please tell me if this is alright,Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 It all seems so far removed from my old original Amstrad with Two 5 1/4" floppies running on DOS and basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 This is the latest post to the same thread on the Windows Vista forum...(a copy and paste job)PANARCHYif you got the rig running, please respond to this thread......I think, in light of the 117 posts it took to build this "machine", it would be proper to let everyone know that the rig is built! :D;-) then we could close this "longest build known to mankind" to rest.... and get started on something else.like overclocking that thing to the max..... :lol:;-) let us know how it runs! what is the core temp of the cpu when idle?these are things i have to know!

Mike567 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Bet hes busy playing games :lol:.My first PC build was just pot luck, I ordered a load of crap and stuck it in a case, worked like a dream I'm still running it today, I overclocked it adding another 100mhz.
