Solve : Windows98 upgrade to 2KPro? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Upgraded on Pentium 100 machine that lists hard drive 0 (854MB) and hard drive 1 (811 MB). Before was showing as C: and D: . Formatted C: . Now shows only C: at 854 MB. Tried Partition Manager - No help. I've created a monster of a mess on a machine that doesn't belong to me. Please tell me how to fix!! :-/ Also, in the process I lost the internet connection. Control panel shows only "Make new connection" icon. Wired to Road Runner.Did you format hard drive 1? I believe 98 and 2000 use different filing systems - 98 uses the FAT32 system (or FAT16, but you'd have to be a bit thick to stick with that!) and 2000 uses NTFS.format C: from Command Prompt. D: not recognized by format command. Don't remember some attempts following and then after installing Win2K I used both the CD to Repair Installation and then the Win2K boot disks.

I chose NTFS wherever the option was open. How do I know if hard <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/disk-244471" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DISK">DISK</a> 0 &1 are physical distinctions or virtual?

Win98 is long gone and I have lost <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/half-1014510" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HALF">HALF</a> of the hard drive space. I need to reclaim that first. Am I posting under the wrong topic?Quote</p><blockquote>1. How do I know if hard disk 0 &1 are physical distinctions or virtual? <br/>2.

Look inside the computer.<br/>2. 1600MB or 800MB is not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/large-1066424" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LARGE">LARGE</a> enough for Win2k. Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for Win2k. <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/professional/evaluation/sysreqs/default.asp">Windows 2000 System Requirements</a><br/>That's the most helpful yet Now, how do I repair the damage and get to a workable system with the full 1600?<br/>Thx.Reinstall Win98.</body></html> | |
