I've got to reimage a system with a bad nic. I put a new card in, its recognized the bios and by XP with no need for extra drivers. If I go into the bios and set the boot order I am only allowed to chose the onboard nic. If I disable the onboard nic than I'm not allowed to boot from the network at all. Is there anyway that I can force this thing to boot with the PCI card?
 
Apparently the NIC I grabbed out of my big box o nics was bad. Tried a different one and it boots ok.

I'm dumb.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
