The computer does not recognize the card.
1. Take out Magic Card and insert it in another slot.
2. Go into BIOS setup and enable boot from LAN or Network.
For example, set “Boot from LAN/Network” or “LAN boot first”
or “Boot other device” as Enabled.
Set “First boot device” as Network, LAN, ZIP or SCSI.

After turning on the computer you receive a message Illegal FAT or cannot be supported.
This can be caused by a few reasons:
• The hard disk is not fully partitioned.
Computers are often sold when hard disks have parts that are not partitioned.
To solve this, create an image of the system partition on an external disk
or on the network, reformat the disk and fully partition the disk using the
Microsoft FDISK application from a bootable diskette in DOS.
After completely partitioning the disk, copy back the image to the partition.
• In part of the hard disk there is a File system other than 16/32/NTFS.
To solve this problem you have to make sure that the file system is 16/32/NTFS.
We recommend that a professional technician convert the file system to avoid data loss.
• Bad sectors on hard disk.
You will have to change the hard disk since there is a physical problem with your disk.
• Partitions were created with software other than Microsoft FDISK tool.
To solve this problem, reinstall Windows according to Microsoft‘s instructions.

After turning on the computer you receive “Hard disk failed”.
There can be two reasons:
• Virus item in CMOS is set enabled, change it to Disabled .
• Initialization mode of Magic Card is incorrect.
ISA edition, switching between these 4 types of initialization modes
can adjust address of ROM. Addresses corresponding to initialization
modes 1/2/3/4 are D000H/C800H/D400H/D800H.
For PCI and LAN editions, adjust by pressing Alt+1/2/3/4 key after the
initialization of memory and hard disk till computer hangs,restart the computer.
This problem is common among ASUS motherboards. For ASUS motherboards select ALT and 1.

After turning on the computer you receive Restore CMOS,
and will continue to appear after pressing any key and the computer will restart.
When automatic recovery of CMOS data is enabled, Magic Card will display the above
information and recover data after pressing any key if any CMOS data was modified.
This information will be displayed as well after restarting.
There can be two reasons for this:
• There are temporary dynamic units in CMOS.
To solve the problem backup CMOS data for Magic Card to identify the
temporary dynamic units and ignore the data changes.
• Magic Card cannot identify COMS effective data area.
To solve the problem, you have to specify CMOS effective data area,
as protected area.
To do so press Ctrl+Home hotkey after receiving the Restore CMOS screen.
Enter the first 4 characters of your password upon receiving the password screen.
Press F10 hotkey and enter password to enter system menu,
select “Backup CMOS” to analyze CMOS data.
If the problem continues, lower protection mode of CMOS data,
from “Special” to “Normal” or to “Partial”.

Prompt shows that boot failure or other error information during
power-on self-test when Magic Card is inserted in the slot.
There will be two reasons: First, Virus item in CMOS is set enabled, change it
to Disabled and save. Second, initialization mode of Magic Card is incorrect.
Modes 1 to 4 are lined as per functional intensifying and compatibility lowering
in turn. For ISA edition, switching among these 4 kinds of initialization modes can
adjust address of ROM. Addresses corresponding to initialization mode 1/2/3/4 are
D000H/C800H/D400H/D800H. For PCI and LAN edition, adjust jumpers or execute
SETPCI.COM or press Alt+1/2/3/4 key after the completion of initialization of
memory and hard disk. For example, you can press both Alt and 1 key to set
compatibility of Magic Card with ASUS motherboard.

For Windows 95/98, an exclamation mark appears on hard disk controller
after installing Magic Card; system halts or blue screen "can not load
HDMC driver" appears during starting Windows.
There can a number of reasons:
• The system resources are set incorrectly.
Go into BIOS and set Reset in PnP/PCI Configuration in CMOS to Enabled or Both.
• The VxD driver is not installed properly, or it is set to run in 16-bit mode.
To solve this, select the checkbox in Update Boot Code in Hard Disk MBR in
system parameters in the system menu.
• An IDE unique driver was installed in Windows 95/98.
Uninstall the driver and install the standard driver provided with Windows.
• A High-speed access driver (e.g., Ultra DMA66, ATA-100, SCSI, etc.)
of chipset (e.g., SIS, VIA, Intel, etc.) is installed in Windows 95/98.
Adjust access mode of hard disk” in system parameters in the system menu to
8# enhanced 32-bit.
If problem still exists, please select a different access mode from access mode of hard disk.
• A virus infected the operating system.
We strongly recommend that you run a full virus scan prior to installation.
• Insufficient disk space.
We recommend defragging the hard disk in order to free disk space.
• Incompatible real-time virus monitoring or safety monitoring software has been installed.
Go into BIOS and disable this function.

Data on hard disk cannot be protected under Windows NT/2000.
Reinstall the NT driver provided with the diskette.
Go in to our web site and search for a new driver if needed.

Magic Card shows prompt "Restore CMOS" after power-on self-test,
and will show as well if recovery by pressing any key and restart.
When automatic recovery of CMOS data is enabled, Magic Card will display above information
and recover after pressing key if it found CMOS data was modified. However it will display
as well after restarting, possible reasons are as follows: one is temporary dynamic units
exist in CMOS; two is CMOS has something special that Magic Card cannot identify its
effective data area. For the first reason, it needs backup CMOS data again to make Magic
Card identify its temporary dynamic units and ignore its changes of data. For the second
reason, it needs to enforcedly specify CMOS effective data area, namely protected area.
First, press Ctrl+Home hotkey after prompt "Restore CMOS", enter first 4 characters of
privilege password after prompt "password:" (e.g., entering "1a2b" and Enter if password
is "1a2b3c4", and entering "1a" and Enter if password is "1a"). If password is correct,
it can temporarily ignore changes of CMOS data, and continue to start. Then press F10
hotkey and input password to enter into system menu, select "Backup CMOS" to analyze
CMOS data. If the problem exists yet, it should enforcedly specify protection area of
CMOS data,lower from "Special" to "Normal" and to "Partial".

Forgot the password after installing Magic Card.
Take out the Magic Card from the computer and execute the utility PASSWORD.EXE
from the provided diskette in MS-DOS.
Remove the password by Press the F5 function key.
