New Motherboard

Name: Anonymous 2007-04-17 11:46 ID:PmYLTq7z

So, I just replaced my motherboard from my frankenstein HP computer.  It's just an inexpensive Foxconn, seeing as I only wanted to replace the board (needed socket 754, agp, DDR 400).  Now, it works.  Mostly.  I have a few problems I can't seem to figure out.  If /comp/ could give me any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

First, my USB keyboard does not work in BIOS or windows setup but works the rest of the time just fine.  My PS/2 keyboard works fine all of the time.  It's not an old motherboard, so I wouldn't suspect this problem, but is this something I just have to deal with due to poor USB support?

Another thing: on the boot screen it lists my memory as being DDR 200 (o_0a).  It recognizes all of it (1.5 GBs) but it thinks it's a strange speed.  My motherboard was also designed for DDR 400 as is listed in the manual.  WTF?  Could this be fixed by reorgnainizing my memory (say, my 1 GB stick in the 1st bay)?

And the last thing: I wasn't able to repair my existing OS- WinXP home as all I have for that are recovery disks and the only OEM I have is XP pro, so I instead installed my OS on my recovery partition.  Now, I don't mind this, but I was wondering if there was a way to delete all of my indows files/system files on my old, main partition without doing it by hand or deleting my data that is on there.  Possible or no?

Thanks.

No need to entertain it?  I think you're just a useless n00b who doesn't know a SCSI port from his ass.  Although I suppose they both share a similar charateristic, one in name, the other in odor and appearance.

In short, lern 2 read.  Honestly, What was the point in replying at all?  Just to prove your obvious superiority and l33t english h4x?  GTFO, you plague.

And really, USB hate?  What does it matter?  With any decent keyboard nowadays you have no choice.  USB is the future.  No, wait...USB is now.  PS/2?  Welcome to 1998.
