hello.i have a new WD 400JB hd.i used a win me bootdisk to fdisk the drive & format it.when i go to install xp pro, will i then be given the option to choose which filesystem i want for all partitions on my hd.ntfs or fat32.thnx for help
 
You need not nave bothered with the ME boot disk. XP does it all. Put it in & boot up. Have the cd rom to boot first in the bios.

How big is that drive??
 
hi hipster.thnx for reply.if that is the case,i have to go back in and delete the partitions correct?it is a 40gig drive
 
Nope it should be OK. You'll see when you boot up with the xp cd anyway what needs to be done. It should see the partitions you made.

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???
