Hi ET,
Its my father in laws pc & its been corrupted along the way by stacks of internet rubbish, pop up etc etc, everytime he tries to access the web he cant due to various errors and IE runtime errors. basically its beyond the point of repair and the best thing to do would be just to re-install 2000.
I did this with mine a couple of weeks ago (re-installed 2000 over the top) and it worked a treat, this pc will not...on trying to install 2000 it keeps coming up with 'file not found...find/cancel/skip' etc... As there is absolutely nothing on his pc that is of vital importance I thought it best just to do a clean install on a formatted HD.
I created a boot disk which the help suggests you need 4x3 1/2 inch disks ????? I did this but it wouldn't recognize it and no matter what I did in rebooted to windows so therefore I couldn't format..???
Heeelpppp !!!!
