Ok im having problems with this.

I have read the guide over and over.

My bios is ancient so it seems i cant boot from usb flash drive.

Now heres my problem, i follow the tutorial, line for line, i get to the part were it says to type your drive letter, (Mines is C:) (thats the only hard disk listed) than hit cd xbf.

When i do this action, it says Change Directory XBF failed.

I even created a smaller 1 gig partition and tried it on that, same thing.

Change directory XBF failed.

I did everything right im sure, i did the xtreme bootmaker correctly, the XBF folder formatted correctly in my root folder.

When i start up my cpu, i only leave the hard drive XBF is on and the cdrom to boot the XBF cd.

I'm not sure why the change directory is failing and i was wondering if anyone could help me without flaming me like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

Heres my CPU specs anyways

And i have the VIA 642IA chipset, but havent gotten a chance to use it yet because i cant even get to the correct directory.

Is my cpu just that tex sux?

Any ideas?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Are you hitting enter after typing in c: ?? When ntfs for dos has finished loading and you get to the a: prompt i think?? type whatever letter it has assigned your hard drive (it might be c,d or whatever, there should be a list) then hit enter and type cd xbf
should work.

yes thats what im doing, but just wont change directories at all.

I think i am gonna just give up before i hurl this whole thing into the wall.

This thing just really makes me think of how old and garbage my cpu is.

3 years old and its badly outdated.

Sigh thanks for trying to help.

ok well here is a stupid question i guess.. lol.. You used the extreme boot maker correct? so with this you should have created the xbf folder in c:/. so check in your C: directory and see if you have a folder name xbf/ if you do you should restart your computer.. with NTFS dos disc in. get your 1gig partition with a drive letter and inside the main drive letter have the folder xbf which was created by xtreme boot maker. all you need to do is type for example if your new 1 gig partition with xbf on it is "z".
TYPE:
Z: ...hit enter
cd xbf ... hit enter
now you shoudl see "Z:\xbf"
from there you just type your mtkflash command..

hope this helps you a little..
