I installed a sata hard drive, partitioned it, and installed a dual-boot xp pro on it. (other system is 2000 pro). The 2000 can still get on-line, but the xp can't. Is it a driver? The lan is on the motherboard, and I am getting nada response from Asus, who made the board. (Misplaced the cd that had utilities on it). Any suggestions?

But is was chilly in jax, fl- 29 at night to 67 at day, needed to stay in conditioned air (kagee, hehe) another barb.

The video card (radeon x300 ) heatsink was hiding the mobo #'s, lol. I've built about 15 puters, but had a senior moment, and forgot to even go into admin system to find it. i386 is micro processor in cpu circuit?

You got it...

"Intel 80386 - (Commonly abbreviated to "i386", trademark "Intel386") The successor to the Intel 80286 microprocessor. It was the first Intel processor with 32-bit data and address busses. It can address four gigabytes (2^32 bytes) of memory; however, 16 megabytes is a typical maximum in IBM PCs. The 386 allows multiple application programs to run at the same time (when running under 386-specific operating systems) using "protected mode".
"

It's the one after the 286 and before the pentium. It's a old-school processor and I like to think of myself an an old-school computer guy . People that were in the business when a soldering iron was a every day tool would surely disagree.

The i386 cabinet, etc, is still in use- I hate it when an i386 error rears it's head.
