Just change your boot order in bios so it boots to cd. Make your boot disk on the cd first obviously. Also, if you're clever enough :twisted: you can find partion magic for free on the internet...
...

Try running fdisk after the bootdisk install, and see what it lists for partitions, if any

Sounds like one or more of your services is disabled, or not starting. Check your error logs in event viewer (system) and post the errors you see

Whats your specs of your machine?

Whats wrong with the solutions that were given to you??

Are you able to get into Bios at all? Are you pushing the right key to get in there? Try pushing del .
What led up to these events? New hardware install or software?

That makes sense - but we even got errors doing a full clean install from a formatted C partition. I have since got it working .

There is an issue with removing Norton. There's actually something that stays in the registry - not sure exactly what, but Ive had this problem. There is some support on Norton's website that lets...

Set up a new connection through the wizard - should walk you through the process. XP makes this very easy

Check and make sure you havent inadvertently disabled sytem restore.

Did you try to add/remove hardware and see if anything gets picked up by windows?
Did you check for a virus, and spyware?

Tell us about your system first : OS, CPU, Speed, ram, etc.

FIrst, have a look in your device manager for conflicts or other problems with your hardware. If you see a conflict, try uninstalling it, then let windows try to pick it up again. Its most likely a...

Linux will have a boot manager built in. Partician MAgic sure makes the Dbl OS easier, but it isnt necessary

Just open your start menu (start->programs) and drag the IE or any other program into the startup folder

Make sure you are enabling CD support from the dos menu at the beginning of the boot.
From the A prompt - you need to switch over to your cd drive. Could be D, or E. Keep trying letters till you get...

Adaware should get rid of this spyware. CWShredder is a bit better - maybe someone can post a link to it.

Syntax is pretty important in Dos. Show me what you are typing at the A: prompt

Do you know any of the dos commands?

There should be USB support in Windows 98.
Windows 98 original is the version that brought AGP, USB and FAT32 to users


peace

Here's how I do it - there are more and probably better ways but this works for me:


Download a 98 startup boot disk from www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)
(yes 98, not xp) and save it...

Absolutey incorrect. I have done it countless times with a 98 start-up disc.
Harddrive - I did give you the wrong directory though. Try the I386 folder (in the cd), and then WINNT.EXE

SOunds like a load of BS to me. Why cant you just reinstall the drivers?
HP should have the XP drivers available on their website - if they dont, shame on them - I say get another non-hp printer

The disk should have loaded a driver for your cd drive. Stick the windows cd in, change your dos prompt over to whatever drive your cd is usually on (it'll be moved one letter down). Then just type...

Man - this doesnt sound right. If you have a clean formatted hard drive, and a working floppy drive, you should be able to load in a startup disc, enable cd support, and then install windows via cd....

Do you have the original cd driver, or has it been replaced? If its been replaced, you may have to load cd drivers from a floppy first. If its original, as caperjack suggested - just change the boot...

Are you by chance ugrading from xp home, on a newer computer by chance? I had a similiar issue, and found a way around this. post back if you are

What did you do to fix this virus? The virus may have done more than you think - it may have corrupted IE, it may still be in, but the virus may be not letting it run. Is everything else working on...

You can delete folders in ms-dos if thats what you're looking to do.
type del (name of the folder).
type dir at your c prompt to list everything, then you can pick and choose.
You may get errors...

I wouldnt worry about it unless you get adverse affects.

Can you look under your device manager to see what the conflicts are and repost?

If no conflicts, you could be over-heating or have a virus.

Did you guys play around with the advanced options? Something mus tbe disabled/or enabled were it shouldnt be.

He's a beginner for Pete Sake! If you're going to get into multiple OS''s on the same drive, do not mix a fat32 and a ntfs os on the same partition - that is just asking for trouble, I dont care how...

Yes. First check your device manager (start->settings->controlpanel->system->hardware)for conflicts. Second, you can look under event...

I have heard of this happening - its usually a modem conflict. Its pretty unexplainable, but usually trying a different modem will solve it.

Screen of death is usually a memory leak of some sorts. Any chance you could reinstll your os and start fresh?

If you have the full instalation xp cd - just pop in into your cd drive, and start the setup. It should walk you through the process. You will lose your ME by the way - xp is going to overwrite that....

It wont be in the cab files. DId you try and let Windows pick up the device by itself? ME shouldnt have a problem assigning a driver to an mp3 player. I would try uninstalling your software, then...

In general, try to only have 1 burning utility installed. They can and do corrupt each other
