| Please help!! I fdisk my drive and used partition magic. I want to put win nt server, win 2000 adv server, win 2000 prof, and win 98. I partition the drive w/ partition magic loaded win nt server and made the 2nd partition active. I put the 4 floppy setup disk in and got a error only 64 mb (i forgot you needed 128 for win 2000 adv server. So i went out and bought 128mb sdram put in my system. When i put in the partition magic bootup floppy i either get a blank monitor or burn in on monitor. Also, i get no beeps nothing. I used 2 different monitors and put in a different 32 mb worth of memory. I went out and bought another motherboard and cpu and i still get nothing on the monitor and i can't get into the BIOS. When i turn on the system the power supply comes on the cpu fan comes on and the chassis fan comes on. Could someone give me some tips on where or what to do next. I'm ready to shoot myself. What am i doing wrong. i even changed all the drive cables inside the case. I took out all the card except the video and still get a blank or burned in monitor and can't access the bios. It's done this on 2 different motherboards and cpu's. | |

| wow that's pretty bad. Have you tried getting rid of what partition magic did, and start w/ a fresh drive with only one OS? | |

You know come to think of it, your right. You have to use server magic. Hit right on the head.
