ME installation
'I tried loading ME'" - "3 disks from HP that are system recovery
disks"...... those system disks are rather critical! are they ones that were created by HP, or ones that you burned on the system after purchased? I don't really understand why there should be three of them, unless one is the OS, one is drivers, and one is applications (nothing in those days was that size!) If you sort out which is what, and use the OS disc first, you should be able to load your copy of XP on top of ME without problems (I'd not bother with the other two disks unless you really need to!) -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Tim" wrote in message ... I have a problem and don't know how to go about fixing it. Recently I had my hard drive crash on me and I replaced it. I was running XP on it, but it originally came with ME. I had bought an XP disk but it was only the Upgrade. My problem is this, I tried loading ME so I could then put in the XP upgrade and have it working again. The pixels on the monitor when everything is done are messed up like its in a safe mode or something. I was told that missing drivers are causing that. Anyway, I can't even load the XP upgrade because it keeps telling me that there is no previous windows founds. It didn't come with a "Windows ME" disk, but 3 disks from HP that are system recovery disks. Those are what I loaded and it won't work as I can't even accept the licensing agreement when ME comes up. What can I do? Thanks for any helpful solutions. |
