I have recently tried to ghost my HD image with nero's backitup and all went fine but as soon as I tried to test the ghosted image I get this "Address line A20 is already enabled" I have never had issues before with my other computers while using Nero's backitup ghosting software. Maybe it has something with the image loaded in wromg place for the DR-DOS, I don't know. but I can't seem to find this A20 function anywhere in the bios. But as I said before, during bootup process with nero's ghosted dvd that I made, EMM386 complains, that "Address line A20 is already enabled" and the system just freezes, then I have to reset. this only happens when I have tried to test the ghosted dvd. This a quick rundown of what I have; MB K8N NEO2 PLATINUM MSI GA XFX|GF 6800GT 256MB PVT40AUDF3 >POWER SUPPLY ANTEC TP2-550 EPS12V CPU AMD 64 |3800+ ATHLON 64 939P RT MUSHKIN DUAL V2 1G(512X2) DDR400 R HD250G|ST 7200 8M SATA ST3250823AS% WD 80G 7200 XP Loaded on this drive DVR|PIONEER DVR-109BK DVD+/-RW% Any help would be greatfully appreciated. THANX!
this is what I found out so far Fast Gate A20 Option: A20 refers to the high memory area (First 64KB of extended memory). This option uses the fast gate A20 line (if supported) to access memory above 1 MB. This is faster than the normal method. Set it to enabled for better performance. HOw would I disable it?
I know it's in my bios but nothing in there say's A20. I think I might have figured it out but I might be wrong. I just found out that my 80gb that has the operating system on it is a slave and is the primary slave and not master....what do you think, could that be the conflict?
I'll change it and give an update. (Crossing fingers) I seen the post by samantha, feel happy and sad for her.
well I did put the HD into master and still could not get it to ghost, I'll try somthing else or maybe any other suggestions.
