Re: "error loading operating system"

Many thanks for your info. I click the 1st link and download from here
http://global.aopen.com/userdownload_List.aspx?RecNo=4402&Model=192

the model AX6BC Pro file 6bcp107.exe Version R1.07 into the floppy and reboot.
Upon reboot from floppy and type 6bcp107.

The info from the 'old' bios is the same as well as the version except it
says New checksum 9559h. In any case it say 'yes' to reflesh and efter that
re boot/reload defaut.. Its boot sequence is set to cd rom and it still give
me the same error message as when I first try to install the OS, "press any
key to boot from cd....error loading operating system

I then download R1.16 and repeat the whole process and it give me the same
error message "press any key to boot from cd....error loading operating
system"

So what else could cause the error then. Look forward for your guidance,
thanks

Trying to refurbish an old pc:- install Win xp and I get the following
message when I hit the enter key to 'boot from CD". During the POST, the bios
were able to detect the PRI Master and the SEC Slave and it was set to boot
from cd ron/hdd/floppy. I get the same message even when I change into
another cd rom drive or the data cable. Thinking that CPU at 550mHz,(the RAM
is 384 MB) may not be enough to install Win xp, I tried to install Win 2000
but there is no change in the situation.
Is there any reason why I cant install the OS? Thanks

What is set as PRI master and SEC Slave?

I also had this. My solution was to:

1) Main hard drive (to be C:) set as PRI master

2) CD drive (for the install) set as SEC master.

I have personally seen CD drives not "booting" when set up as SEC
slave. Some PCs seem to only be able to boot a CD when the CD is set
up as Master on any IDE port.

IDE settings follow the requirements that a Master should be connected
on the IDE port before a Slave is connected. Usually when an IDE
drive that is set for Slave, the IDE controls are usually "turned" off
in favour to let the Master drive controls.
