Hi,
Can't help exactly, but here's a few ideas.
So you can boot from the floppy then? Have you run windoze scandisk, has
that
come up with any errors?
Do you intend to run mu *instead of* windows? If so have you tried
re-formatting
the hard disks?
There is a bug in some pentium processors, but I can't remember which ones -
mine has a bug, but windows doesn't care and rarely crashes. Redhat Linux
knows about it and works around the bug.
-- Richard Kirkcaldy Linux works around it too, besides, I don't think the kernel uses floating point math much. Besides, hard drives are processed with integer math. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
