The sound and everything else works fine except that the line-in and microphone do not work. What is wrong?

1.Please go to sound properties and check if the line-in and microphone in are enabled and not muted.

2.Check if the Microphone is ok.

3.When using 6 speakers the line-in and microphone channels are used for rear, center and bass. 6-Channel audio and microphone/line-in can not be used at the same time.

Hard disk/FDD/ CD-ROM issue

My Western digital HDD is not detected during boot-up.

Change the jumper settings to cable select or single.

Sometimes the system finds my CD-ROM, sometimes not.

1.Check CD-ROM if it is working properly.

2.The power supply might not have enough wattage to support all the peripherals. If your system has other peripherals connected, like CD-RW, extra HDD, etc. disconnect them.

When I boot up my new computer, I get "floppy boot failure" and the LED on the floppy stays on.

Make sure the red wire of floppy ribbon cable goes to Pin1 on the floppy drive side (don't trust the "key lock" or "notch") and use the end-connector of the cable (don't use middle one).

LAN Issues

During LAN driver installation, the system hangs on 75%, why?

Enable the onboard LAN in the BIOS setup.

I have problem installing Novell NetWare v.50.

Disable the APIC option in the BIOS.
