Thanks for your help. The BIOS is AMI version 1.08 dated 10/13/2003. I looked at Techguys and there is a lot of info but nothing downloadable apart from whitepapers.
Do you think if I updated my BIOS it might help?
When I first had the HD problem and reformatted the disk it hung on self test reporting bad sectors. I tried everything I knew and guessed the HD was finished. I was able to borrow a HD from a friends defunk laptop and installed this in my EI Systems machine. The new disk was not found and there was a squealing from the speakers. So I reinstalled my old HDD and
used Ultimate Boot Disk to format as new drive using MAXTORs install program. By disabling SMART i was able to reinstal windows and all my drivers except the AC97 codec combo (WDM). As previously mentioned I know the driver ı have is correct as it worked fine before by the way it is version 6.14.1.4100. I wonder if the squealing I heard may have damaged the bios somehow. If I use device manager to install the ac97 driver it installs but reports code 10
Any ideas
