Solve : Insufficient Memory to Install Windows XP - Help Needed!? |
|
Answer» It also happens when there is a previous Linux distro installed as well. Anyway, I thank you, contrex. From your words I could understand that there isn't a way to put the computer back to its initial state or, to be more specific, to put the conventional memory configuration back to what it was when the computer had came just right from the factory. You "understand" completely wrongly. "Conventional memory" refers to the first 640K of RAM, as seen by the MS-DOS operating system. I have now written that 3 times. Quote One more question, where is this DRDOS comes from? Is it from the OS CDROM? Yes. Genuine Windows XP disks do NOT have Caldera DR-DOS on them! Quote A copy of my actual XP-CD might be needed as I cannot be sure of its reliability Yeah yeah yeah. A genuine XP CD with Caldera DR-DOS? I don't think so. Nice try, but no cigar. Deerpark, I set up BIOS to start the computer from the CD, but as the computer is restarted, Boot from the CD turns, automatically, into the Caldera DR-DOS environment, instead of initialize Windows setup! [/quote] Then it is not a genuine XP install disk, or even a copy of one. It is something else. contrex, I don't know if you are trying to make from this issue some KIND of a contest. Anyway, I will not THROW myself up into a disruptive conversation. I would like to thank you all, properly, seeing that one got to give you CREDIT for trying to help others. The problem of this error was, indeed, setup disk-CD DAMAGE. Whether if it was a copy, a genuine, or "something else", whatever, I don't know, and, simply, I don't care anymore. I just bought another Operating System Install Disk (this time, I bought Vista) and EVERYTHING went right! No more issues referring to memory, it had just formatted the partitions and installed the OS. Here's the solution, buy a genuine CD install disk (don't ask anyone to buy it for you!) and clear away your install issues. Thanks! |
