Operating Systems

[harry]

Got a PC that had Windows 2000 installed.
The harddrive crashed.
Harddrive has been replaced and am now selling and am trying to install Windows ME, but it will not load. Any ideas.

1. so you are trying to rip someone off by selling a crashed hardrive?
2. wow it will not load, the possibilities.
3. no idea unless you give us more info.

stay with 2000 instead of me if it works.

 

[harry]

New harddrive installed.
Message on boot up with ME disc in CD "Operating System Not Found"

 

[kof2000]

in bios make boot from cd rom first as first boot device.

 

[harry]

CD is first boot device, problem continues

windows ME is a worthless. stay with 2000

Could be a memory related problem. Usually ME won't work fine with more than 512 MB RAM.
Also check if the HDD connector is plugged well.

WME doesnt native support NTFS during install if i recall correctly.... so you might not be able to install because the installer thinks there isnt any available drive

I agree, I actually wasn't going to even use WINXP but because my new system needs XP to install all my hardware......... I put it on, but got rid of all the flashy toolbars and windows etc etc

My aunty had WME, she had alot of trouble with it

dont just make it look like 2000, you gotta stop all those behind the scenes worthless processes. they hog your memory.

You shoud REALLY stick with 2000.
Windows ME is BAD.
It's allmost exactly the same as Win 98, which is also bad.

lol yes ME is terrible, even XP home is better...and i hate home edition.

ME is the worst Windows ever... But 98 is quite ok for older computers.

Yes 98 was a good OS.....I dont know what it was but I like 95 better than 98 Dunno why just prefered it, it's also the same as I like 2000 better than XP I think it's because they were more plain and simple I dont really like all the fancy stuff

 

[Lorand]

And in XP is quite complicated to get rid of those useless fancy thingys...

 

[ZER0X]

I'd want xp to use more CPU then RAM because my computer lacks RAM and has a good CPU
