and don't forget to install xp as "a new system"

Another new addition to a very old topic, gotta keep em' alive I guess.
I tried my own solution to this one before doing any research at all and guees what, I screwed up big time. I moved all of my "boot loader" files out of the root and into another directory, yes I now know this was stupid. I thought I could just boot from a floppy and move them back but now I can't get access to my C: drive at all. Tried several different boot disks (DOS, Win98, Win2k) but I still can't see my harddrive. Also tried booting to a "boot loader" disk but that doesn't seem to work either. Anyone have any ideas what else I can try? Anyone know of a way to force your PC (via a floppy) to point to another directory on C: for the boot info? I'm running out of ideas.

Hi damnesiac,

First of all- welcome to DaniWeb

Actually, we try to let old topic rest in peace. :p

For a couple of reasons, we ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, troubleshooting steps you've already tried, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

Thanks for understanding.

As this thread is nearly 3 years old, and the original poster has indicated that they found a viable solution to their problem, this thread is considered solved and has been closed.

In accordance with our posting rules, other members having similar questions or problems need to start their own threads and post their questions there.
In order to help us help you most quickly, please include as much information about your problem as possible in your posts.
