Help!!! with Windows ME reinstall
When I purchased my PC, I had Windows ME. Later I upgraded it to Windows XP
professional 2002 (Service pack 2). A couple of days ago, my PC crashed. So I thought of using the recovery CD's that came with the PC when I bought it. It seems that I have successfully re-installed Windows ME and after I took out the recovery CD from the CD ROM drive, it rebooted (as it had instructed me). After rebooting, it is stuck on the very first screen (black screen) where it shows the PCI device listing.... I had thought that once ME is reinstalled and the PC reboos, I'll upgrade it to XP professional (since I only have the upgrade CD of XP professional) Can someone please help.... Sam |

Help!!! with Windows ME reinstall
here are more details:
well, the problem was that the PC kept on rebooting and wouldn't boot in safe mode either. So I thouht of reinstalling the OS. Finally, last night I was able to reinstall ME after having reloaded and reformatted atleast 5-6 times, everything went well and I was able to upgade the PC to XP Pro as well. Then I downloaded an oaded yahoo msgr, netscape & MSN msgr was also loaded and then when I loaded skype, it started to reboot continuously and wouldn't allow me to log in the safe mode either... then I thought of going through the whole process again (loading ME with the recovery CDs and then upgrading to XP with the upgrade CD), but then thrice I tried to load ME and everytime, when both recovery CD's are loaded, it gives a terminating error and shuts down the PC. If the PC is just switched on, it says that it doesn't have any OS. So don't know what to do.... Please help...... "Sam" wrote: When I purchased my PC, I had Windows ME.
