Hi Christer….I can’t get the dual boot option to appear. I took an old 20gig hard drive and deleted all the partitions only (not the MBR) then...
Your problem lies with the fact the WinXP boot files, the ntloader, has been replaced on your system with the Win2000 ntloader files, which are...
Torcano…..If your XP CD had Service Pack2 included then I would go ahead and just delete the current partition during the XP setup and then...
Using XPH with all updates, IE6 and Office 2003 installed. No problems this time and no strange POST connection to Microsoft. I don't have Java...
That’s interesting Christer, when I read what you said I considered how it could happen and I did think that the only way possible was as you...
Doing an over the top repair install should work ok. It will keep all your settings, apps and data. You’ll obviously have to install some drivers...
Maybe just a coincidence but Windows crashed on me. There was nothing unusual about the page with my shields up, so I dropped them all and...

If it’s never going to be connected, then why do you need any security updates? All you will need is an anti-virus to check any added files, or...
Never heard of a WinME recovery disk. However you can replace the system boot files form the WinME startup floppy. Boot to the A:\>prompt and type...

It's XP Home with sp2 and all updates and the version of IE6 that came with it. I keep the quick launch toolbar on autohide at the top of the...
Screenshot Hi Jim, I can’t even remember what the grouping option does, but this is more just moving things out of view. In the screenshot I...
