Can't install ME
Just built a computer with AMD 64 3400+, Abit MV8 Mobo, 1gb mem, ATI Radeon
9600XT Vid card, Maxtor 150mg SATA HD. All operating systems that I try either can't read files or won't run dll files during hardware detection or finalizing system settings. Tried Win98, WinME, WinXP Pro. can't get any to work. Can anyone give me an idea of what the heck is going on? Thanks |

Take a stick out during the install, then replace it afterwards. Since WinME is limited to 137GB/partition, I assume you've already partitioned your drive. |

No Win 9x system will install without tweaking - usually reducing the RAM
count to =512MB will do the trick if there's no other problems I suspect that you are attempting to install with the BIOS AV switched on - try turning it off and see what happens -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Rick T" wrote in message ...
