| Hmm, no one seems to have answered the actual questions so, here's some
for
| you..
|
| First question:
|
| How big is the drive? If over 137 gig, then foobar.
|
| The drive is 60 gig.

As directed elsewhere, make your "Windows" partition small for faster
scandisk and defrag...

|
| Second:
| Is the Bios set to AUTO for your drives, or is it hard set/prior
detected?
| Set to Auto detect.
|
| It is set to Auto Detect.

Good..

|
| Third:
| Did you format the drive through XP or with the old fdisk and format
routine
| from DOS days.
| If XP: reformat the drive via DOS boot disk. Scandisk it afterwards.
|
| I do the old fdisk and format.
|
| Fourth:
| If it was previously used for something else AND you just deleted the
stuff
| and did not re-format through DOS, did you scandisk afterwards?
|
| Yes, It was previously used for something else. That's why I did
| the old fdisk and format. FAT 32.

Good. Wasn't XP NTFS was it?

| Hello, I will try to keep this as short and consise as I can.
|
| Up until about 6 months ago, I was running WIN98 SE. I
| decided to try out XP & SP2, and found that I like it pretty
| well. I installed the XP drivers for my ancient ATI All-In-Wonder
| Pro 128 AGP vid card. Since then, I have been unable to
| perform video capture using VirtualDub.
|
| I decided to install WIN98SE on another drive to get this
| ability back. When I try to install, I can get all of the files
| loaded on the drive in the WIN98 folder I created. When
| it comes time to install the OS, The mouse cursor freezes
| at the "Welcome to windows install" window. I borrowed
| a friends WIN98 SE disc, and the same thing happens.
| I have not changed a thing in regards to hardware since
| I last ran WIN98 SE.
|
| Any ideas? Thank you.

| Suprisingly, Microsoft doesn't control the whole world YET, so use what
you
| want for access.
| Microsoft RARELY follows standards for any of it's software. As long as
| there are easily lead people around, Microsoft will dominate, and it's
users
| will claim it is the best, not knowing any better, regardless of other
| indications. It does no good to try to tell them.

AND FOR THE GROUP various threads:

Yeah, the governments of world have placed us in an unstable state right
now, but to use THIS news group to further bias and prejudice, or some form
of discrimination, or other "personal choice" agenda is hardly condusive to
what this group supposedly is for.
The us above, is not just the "western world" or the supposed
"democracies", or Christians/Muslims verses whomever,, because no matter
where on this SMALL planet you live; all of us wish for the same things: a
good life; to be left alone; and the ability to raise our children in a
better world.. it is always the "governments" [or those who wish to be such]
that direct us to kill each other en mass .. we can be "cannon fodder" for
their use, or we can be cautious and vigilant of what we are "directed to".
[Sorry to get on my soapbox everybody, but this needs said]
