I am reinstalling my Windows 2000. It worked okay before but I started having some trouble with some of the DLLs, so I thought a fresh install might fix the bad DLLS. It goes through the whole install process, but hangs up at the upgrading IIS section every time. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I haven't changed any of the hardware since I installed 2000 last time.

I am considering upgrading from Microsoft 2000 Pro to XP Pro.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm going to upgrade from 2000 to XP w/SP3 and was wondering about "backing up files". I don't really have much, but I'm mostly concerned about program files (I can't remember which ones I've installed myself)...
I'm also considering "unpartitioning" and starting over because I bought the pc "used" and it has partitions all over the place.
I need to upgrade over 200 PC from 2000 to XP. Some are desktops and some are laptops. I need to do it with very little input from the users. I was thinking of using a email sent out that would ask them to do it at lunch or other sometime. I figure that it will take at least an hour to do the install etc, with no error. I plan on a test group to start with before I roll it out company wide.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade operating systems and I'm getting the message "Incompatible Hard Disk Controller. Setup does not have a driver for a hard disk controller. To continue setup, you need the correct Windows 2000 compatible driver disk." The problem seems to be with my Intel 82371AB/EB IDE controller. Does anyone know if a Windows 2000 driver exists for this and, if, so, where I can get it? Iv'e scoured the Web to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe secretary's computer at our church is a 98SE machine; has never been upgraded. I'm trying to do what I can to at least get it networked and on line. My first attempt with a secondhand network card failed; the card didn't pass the driver diagnostic utility ("Lookback fail"). I picked up a new card and plan to work on getting the machine on line first, then trying to upgrade it. I've never upgraded a Windows machine before (I was dragged away from my Amigas kicking and screaming), and I want to find out if there are any potential land mines.This was apparently a decent machine back in the day. I'm away from it right now, but IIRC the specs are 233 MHz CPU, 384MB RAM, and 20 GB hard drive with 9 GB free. I just finished installing my old HP Officejet 5510 on it with no issues. My current plan of attack is to get the network up and running (pastor has XP machine; I just got his DSL service up today), upgrade to Windows 2000 so I can get current antivirus and Firefox/Thunderbird software, then see about using Ghost 10 to copy the hard drive over to an 80 gig or so drive. Hopefully this will keep our secretary going for another two or three years at which time I hope we can afford a new computer.Why not XP? Well, I think I can pick up a NOS 2000 upgrade package cheap, and money is definitely a consideration. True, we might be able to pick up a new low-end desktop tower for not much more than this will cost, but then we would almost certainly be looking at having to buy all new software to use it. Most of our present software, especially WordPerfect 9, should run under Windows 2000. I think.

I know it is always best to do a clean install with a new mobo but by doing the upgrade to XP will I avoid the problems of putting an old OS on a new mobo?

It is randomly at anytime during the boot from disk turning it's self off, it is connected to main so its not a battery problem as i first thought.

On some web sites I cannot even make out what the words are. I found out that when I go into my monitor settings in display properties I am unable to install the drivers for my monitor. Does anybody know a way in which I can get around this.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI'm upgrading my hard drive and here's the order I'm thinking of... 1. BIOS update. I know, if it ain't broke don't fix it but my board is about 2 years old and the current BIOS revision is fairly stable and comlpete plus I figured if I'm ever going to do a BIOS update I should do it immediately preceeding a clean install Also, supposedly my ASUS board has some feature that will prevent you from being screwed even if you have a bad flash. OS with required serial drivers. not really sure what that involves but in another thread I was told I needed to have the serial drivers ready to go and push F6 when it asks for them at the beginning of the install (I've seen that screen on previous installs but I've never had to mess with it).

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my wifes laptop. It is a Dell Inspiron 6400 Duo core processor with Windows XP Pro installed on it about a month ago. She had a low battery indicator coming on and lost power, upon turning the machine back on got the dreaded error. I have tried booting in Safe mode with no luck..... have tried the boot ini rebuildwith no luck. I am going to reinstall Windows XP but thought I would ask if there is another solution. I am not to worried about the data on the drive because I have recently loaded XP on it, just wondering if there is an easier fix; or if a complete reformat will do the trick?

(Windows could not start because of an error in the software. Please report this problem as: load needed DLLs for kernel). When I try to run windows recovery counsel, run in any of the 3 safe modes, try to repair windows with the CD, try to reformat the hard drive, try to reinstall windows, or anything else I forgot to mention I get this error message (A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

I even tried hooking it up as a slave in another computer to try and reformat the HD but for some reason the error message seems to still pop up when I turn the other computer on.

Small master harddrive was full installed an old harddrive from another computer an 80gig axs a slave. it shows it is drive letter F and can open it I deleted all the files that were on it so it is empty. Itshows in computer managment but how do I get it so I can put folders, files and like put the antivirus on that drive, I think I did something wrong but don't no what it is. It shows in computer management as Drive F and I put it as NTSF like the master drive
- HDD #1 has just a single partition with win 2000 installed set as master
- HDD #2 has 3 partitions (used for data backup) with no OS on it set as slave
what i'd like to do is put win xp pro on HDD #2, make it the master, put 2 partitions on it, remove windows from HDD #1 (don't want a dual boot)...that being said, how do i go about doing this? do i first switch the IDE cables and jumpers on the drives, reboot (with CD in CD-ROM), install win xp pro on HDD #2 and partition it (i have partition magic to do the partitions, if that matters)? how do i go about removing win 2000 from HDD #1? do i need to adjust the BIOS during this process?
I am trying to install Win 2000 pro however once the HD if formated and its installed its needed files to reboot and continue installing the first time it trys to load up after rebooting it errors with the following message on a blue screen:
STOP c0000221 Unknown Hard Erro SystemrootSystem32

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis makes about the 6th time I have done the install. When it boots, it hangs for between 10 and 30 minutes at the XP splash screen. The blue bar just goes back and forth but nothing happens like forever. I had tried to replace my HDD as well with an WD SATA 320G HDD, but the bios won't detect it. I tried installing a 40G HDD that had 27G of free space on it. I had been using it as a secondary until my primary went TU last week. I kept running into the problem of it hanging on installation. It would get to the point where it was installing drivers and just stop.
Due to problems that I have been having I went out and bought a new motherboard. I am now running a 1.8G Pentium 4 on an Asis 848P motherboard with 512M DDR Ram. I removed both the 40G HDD and the SATA drive from the system. They are no longer attached. I took a 13G HDD that I had removed to put in a bigger HDD and decided to use it.I did a clean install on the 13G HDD. I formatted it during the installation. Because of the other problems, the only devices that I have connected is the video card, an ATI Raedon 7500, the HDD, keyboard and mouse.The blasted thing still hangs on booting! Because I wanted to know if it happened I activated boot logging and this is what I got.
Late lastnight I was attacked by a nasty virus that wouldn't give control of my computer back, every attempt at a "System Restore" was met by the virus blocking my attempt. I was able to do a "System Restore" via "Safe Mode" but strange things began to happen even after the restore point, so I saved as many family pictures as possible. Bottomline, is there a safe way to scan my thumb drive for virus so that I can add my family pictures to my new fresh install?
