Well...after a few months of amazing success, Windows on my HTPC decided there was a corruption in the registry.
No big deal, I thought, Windows says it will fix it. It fixed it by wiping out all my drivers and making me load them all again.
While reloading the drivers windows noticed that I didn't have enough interrupts for all my cards. Strange I thought because everything had been working previously.
On the next reboot, windows decided it would hang.
No problem I thought. I download drivers for my dos cdrom drivers on my laptop and transfered them to the htpc so I could reinstall windows. The process would hang during plug n play autodetection.
Peeved at this point at having to rip things out of my rack, I pulled all my cards out of the HTPC except for the Radeon LE. I tried a few different things, but never could get the pc to boot. So the Radeon is out and the GF2 is back in which finally got windows booted. Yay for me.
Tomorrow I will either get the system put back together or I will be throwing it off my roof.
