Re: Install windows NT Roger Wright6-Dec-02 22:32 Roger Wright 6-Dec-02 22:32  I wouldn't waste my time on NT. The error you're getting would make me look for an updated driver for my video card. A lot of the NT drivers will install okay, but they just don't work on Win2k. Tell me more about your hardware configuration - did you check it all with the compatibility registry? BTW - 128 MB is plenty of RAM for Win2K. True, it performs better with more, but I ran it for a time on 96MB, and it did very well.

Re: Install windows NT Roger Wright7-Dec-02 5:59 Roger Wright 7-Dec-02 5:59  SiS video cards are very common, and are generally a pain in the a&&. Have you checked Technet for clues about this particular error? Alternatively, have you tried doing a step-by-step boot, eliminating drivers one by one? I know it's tedious, but often it's the only way to isolate boot problems. In this case, though, the error seems to be a hardware failure - see this[^] article, for starters.

Re: Install windows NT Cristian Amarie11-Dec-02 22:02 Cristian Amarie 11-Dec-02 22:02  Actually, a "no-problem" installation of Windows NT requires to be in the 1st 8Gb (practically, in the first 7182 Mb - don't ask...). I don't know what is the behaviour of NT installation having a FAT32 partition - since NT does not recognize it, i'd try to get rid of it - but try to find more on http://www.ntfaq.com/ - there are plenty of informations about install, maybe you can find something useful for your particular configuration.

Dual Boot ballyduff3-Dec-02 2:47 ballyduff 3-Dec-02 2:47  I was just wondering is there any good web sites for explaining how to create a dual boot system under Windows 98 thanks Stephen Re: Dual Boot Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa3-Dec-02 2:52 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 3-Dec-02 2:52  ballyduff wrote: dual boot system under Windows 98 What r the OS you wanna dual boot with win 98.

Re: Dual Boot Taka Muraoka3-Dec-02 3:17 Taka Muraoka 3-Dec-02 3:17  I used to run Debian and W98. You have to install Windows first since it doesn't like to play with other operating systems. Real pain in the ass since I needed to re-install it on a farily regular basis...

I have three NT installs on this box right now in fact. Just make sure each install has its own partition, or they will write over each other's Program Files dirs. --Mike-- "Adventure. Excitement.

Unlike Windows, the product ships with detailed documentation, rather than requiring you to spend hundred$ to buy the information that should be provided with the product. When you install it on a drive that already has Windows installed it will detect the previous installation and offer to install itself in a separate partition. Since I haven't done so yet, I don't know how it will do this without damaging the existing installation... the docs probably give some help there. When I get around to doing this, I plan to have a second drive in the system dedicated just to Linux. The installation will, however, install a MBR that halts the boot process and offers you a choice of which OS to load. For that reason, it's important that Windows (and any other OS you have on the system) be installed first. I strongly recommend reading the documentation thoroughly before you begin as there are many configuration options to consider that don't come up when installing Windows.

What I would like to have is a single box (dual cpu's?) that has two of everything outside the box (monitor, keyboard, etc.) I know there are video cards that support dual monitors (any suggestions?). I would need to be able to login independantly on the two monitors (XP will be the O/S), i.e. be able to play a game on one monitor and create a word document while on the other. Any pointers on how to configure this and suggestions on hardware?? Thanks, Gary Operative system not found rsasalm_1-Dec-02 9:24 rsasalm_ 1-Dec-02 9:24  Hi all, I have win95 installed on my PC. It has been working fine. Today when I reboot the machine efter some initialization I got the message "Operative system not found". Why I get this message, what has happened to my machine? What I remember is that I did clean the place near the computer which might have caused that some cable gets loose, may this cause the error I get? or there is something else I have to check. Please help me in this regard. regards /rsasalm Re: Operative system not found Roger Wright1-Dec-02 9:47 Roger Wright 1-Dec-02 9:47  You may well have bumped a cable loose - crack the case open and give them a wiggle. I've seen this message once, when I stupidly forgot to plug in the IDE cable to the drive in a system I was overhauling. You could also have a damaged MBR on the drive, or the drive controller may be loose (if it's separate from the motherboard). Checking the integrity of all internal cables (both ends) and jumpers is a good first step.

If you have, remove it and reboot. Step 2: remember when you partioned the disk, did you make one partition active? If you did not, the system does not know where to boot from. To rectify, boot from a floppy that has fdisk, run fdisk and set the partiction active.

Re: resource meter w2000 Roger Wright29-Nov-02 8:01 Roger Wright 29-Nov-02 8:01  I don't think Win2K ships with Resource Meter. In its place is the Performance Console, found in Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Performance. You might also try MSDN - one of the tools in the Resource Kit for Win2K may do the trick.
