While installing Windows ME on a dual boot, system halted.

I have Windows XP installed on drive 0, partition 1, formatted ntfs. I have
formatted partition 3 as fat32
and made it primary as well (partition 2 is ntfs). I have a 2nd hard drive
that is a sata with 2 partitions
formatted ntfs. I am using a boot manager called "Graphical Boot manager"
or GAG. I set it to boot to my fat32 drive and proceeeded to install
Windows ME on that drive. During setup, when it tries to reboot for the 1st
time, I get the error "Cannot find or load krnl386.exe, access to the file
denied, system halted" I booted to XP and copied the file to the root
folder and to the \windows folder. When I tried to boot ME again I received
the same message again.


I have an ASUS K8V deluxe motherboard with an AMD 64 3200+ processor and 1.5
GB Ram.


Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank You

Kevin Nielsen

Anyone have any suggestions?

If posting to multiple newsgroups may I suggest you learn to cross post
correctly rather than posting similar different messages to multiple
groups. This helps you keep track of the replies whilst also helping
those who might be in a position to help.

I tried to find info about cross post but could find nothing. Can you
direct me to a place where I can learn how to cross post?

Thank You

Kevin,

When using an NNTP news client such as Outlook Express which I see you are
using, add the two or three newsgroups to which you want to post your
message to the Newsgroups list in the message header. Your message will
then be posted to all of those newsgroups and replies posted to that
message in any of those newsgroups will be seen in all the others to which
the original was cross posted - that is unless the person replying to the
post decides to manually removes the cross-posting. Note also that a
message when read in one of those newsgroups will then appear as "read" in
all of the other groups to which it was cross-posted.

There is an extension to this which is to cross-post the initial message
but to then put just one newsgroup in the Followup-To field in the message
header. Then when someone replies to the cross posted message all of the
replies end up in a single newsgroup. The problem here however is that
those not watching the newsgroup used for the Followup posts don't get to
see the replies or even realise that the initial post has had replies.
