Hi everyone,
Hope you can help . . .
I have a Dell Latitude C610 which was running Windows 2000K. I wanted to reinstall Windows 2000K because of the junk built up on the hard drive from Spyware over the past 3 years.
I formatted the hard drive then did a successful system transfer sys a: c: I was able to type d: and get a virtual drive although it doesn’t see the CD-Rom with Windows 2000K. In fact, it doesn’t see anything in the CD-ROM drive at all. Keep in mind, after the format I copied the files such as config.sys, autoexcec and MSCDEX.EXE to C: Now the system simply won’t boot from a Win 2K CD at all. The only way to even get anywhere is with some half corrupted floppy that indicated OAKWOOD drivers corrupted and corrupted Config.sys and Autoexec.bat. With the corrupted disk I can at least get to an A: prompt, from there I can FDISK, FORMAT and Switch between C: and A: Other than that I’m dead wood– I figure I screwed up the FDISK, FORMAT and SYS TRANS some where. Ironically I can boot from an old Windows NT Server disk, but there are problems because of hard disk capacity
HELP!!!! I’m freaking’ out here. . . Please read my original post for the first situation.
Best regards,
AvengerM!
