In Reply to: ACPI settings in BIOS posted by Mark on 09/12/02 at 4:37 AM:
Your motherboard doesn't allow you to disable ACPI. You can thank Microsoft for that trick. They pressured the motherboard makers to remove the defeat switch, but recently allowed it again.
Leave it as is and install Windows from DOS with this command:
SETUP /P i
That should do it.

: My USB problems seem to relate to the ACPI, and the advice I am getting is to disable ACPI. In my BIOS I can find only 2 settings in the power management setup in BIOS:
: 1. Set ACPI suspend type to Power on Suspend under ACPI OS (default).
: 2. Set ACPI suspend type to suspend to RAM under ACPI OS.
: Which do I select? System: WIN 98SE, 1.7g P4 titan GA-8SIMLP, with SIS 650GX chipset. It has an Award BIOS with 2M bit Flash ROM and supports Q-Flash. I just updated the BIOS today. (The problems go back to my USB pen drive not working from the front ports after all the advice I've recieved, including a clean reinstall of the OS - twice!)
: Thanks, Mark.
