Operating System Problems
Can anyone help me?
I have Windows ME already installed as my operating system. Last year, I tried installing Windows XP on my computer but I wasn't successful. I have two harddisk in my computer (80 GB Master and 8 GB Slave) and 256 MB RAM. My computer has an Intel Celeron Processor. So basically what's happening is I have "two" operating system on my computer and I have to select one of them at startup. However, my real selection is only hte Windows ME as if I select the Windows XP, it basically freezes my computer. So I would like to do is any of the following (whichever may be easier): just run one operating system; either Windows ME or Windows XP only, whichever is easier. And can anyone here help me with a detailed instruction to do this. Thanks in advance. Thanks, VT |

Get a WindowsMe boot diskette:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/u...pr/Startup.asp Do NOT substitute anything but a 100% genuine WinMe disk. Start the computer with it, when you reach the A:\ prompt type: SYS C: Then remove the disk and restart the computer. -- Richard G.

Before doing the "sys c", you could try running the Repair Console from the
XP CD. It will find the dual boot, and the location of the XP files. My feeling is that the problem may arise from the smaller hard drive. Hard to say from this chair though. If not just "sys c" as Richard indicated for Windows ME only use. "valjuza" wrote in message ... Can anyone help me? I have Windows ME already installed as my operating system.
