Trying to re-install XP as I got a new 40 gig HD that I have started to "back up" with programs , so after I got it all sorted I decide to do a clean install on my shambles of a c: drive. I made a bootable CD that goes as far as starting windows then freezes, so tried boot floppys, same thing even with original CD I had, so tried what I originally did and tried upgrade, same thing.

Running the excellent 2K now but had grown accustom to, nay to like the gaudy XP so any ideas.

The version I was installing was the "trial" professional verison with the serial that was doing the rounds, I have tried the troubleshooters and help files on the site alreadt to no joy! :(
 
The XP CD is bootable

If you can format the drive and boot from floppies


If it takes 2K ok it should take XP ok tooo, it must be the CD you have created

Also are you putting smartdrv on before the install ?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
