Upgrade To New Operating System
Jun 22, 2005I need to completely clean a hard disk on a PC desktop. The desktop originally had ME installed, and was upgraded to XP Home edition. Once I have the hard disk cleared I am assuming that I need to use a startup disk for ME; install ME and then upgrade to XP Home edition. I have the original installation cd's (ME & XP) that came with the desktop; however, I do not have a startup floppy for ME. Also, the ME files that were saved to the hard drive when the upgrade was done have been erased. Is there a way of meeting my goal of re-installing XP Home other than as I have described?

Oct 26, 2008My Father gave me his 10 year old IBM Aptiva computer with (128ram). It is running Windows 98, 2nd addition. I want to upgrade the operating system. I don't think that the computer can handle Windows Vista. I was going to order Windows XP Home SP2 but I thought I would ask first to see if I should do anything different. Also, will Windows XP install over Windows 98 without problems?
Upgrade Operating System 98 To Pro
Aug 20, 2006I use Windows 98 SE on my desktop, but I'm wanting to upgrade to XP, as 98 is no longer supported by microsoft and increasingly I am having problems running newer software on it or finding compatable software for win 98. I was thinking of purchasing "Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade with Service Pack 2", but have no idea about upgrading an OS as I have never done this before. My PC specs are: 190MB RAM, Intel Celeron 500MHz. Is this enough to run Windows XP on? Or is it a better idea to get a new PC with XP pre-installed? If I did purchase this upgrade, how does it install, i.e. is it easy to install, like reformating windows 98 or do you need 'expert' knowledge? Can anything go wrong in an OS upgrade?

Aug 15, 2004I recently purchased additional memory, 2 sticks of 256mb PC133, for my HP computer. I currently have 2x128mb and this has worked since I bought my computer about 3 years
ago. My problem is that when I install both the new sticks, 512 total, the system refuses to boot into Windows and gives a FATAL SYSTEM ERROR. I don't get this
error with the 128mb memory, or even when mixing for a total of 384. The memory is from Crucial.com and I have run diagnostics on all sticks with no problems. I have
all the lastest Windows, BIOS, and hardware updates available, and still it crashes
Upgrade System - No Boot Option
Jan 15, 2006I recently upgraded my System from P3 to P4, also added a new 120GB SATA Hard Drive which I kept as a Primary Master.I also attached my old 40GB IDE hard drive which is the secondary master. I had installed Windows XP Pro on the IDE HDD and now have installed the same O.S. on the new drive also. In my old system which also had two hard drives (both IDE drives) I used to get a boot option. But with the SATA + IDE combination the boot option has disappeared and it boots directly from the SATA Drive.
