another upgrade by [MR] on 08-07-2005 at 05:27 AM

on another computer i am trying to upgrade from 98 to 2000. i decided to do a clean install also.  its an IBM 300 mhz amd processor and has about 96 mb of ram and th HDD is about 10GB but anyways i formated the HDD and then setup started copying files on the HDD, then it restarts the computer and it will try to boot but it just says error loading operating system.  what should i do?  and its not really that urgent but i would like to have another computer, because TylerG is making his garage like a "hang out place" and we wanted a computer in there with interent connection and a webcam so we could live stream what we were doing...so if i could get help wioth that it would be good. thanks.

PS:  do you think i might need a 3.5 floopy boot disk for windows 2000 or not?

Download this.

The disk contains an updated version of fdisk. After booting with it type: fdisk /mbr. Hopefully that solves the problem. :)

If not, I can do a little more digging around.

ok thanks

i tired but it said it was an invalid system disk...so im just thinking it wants the windows 2000 boot disk ...think it would be on www.bootdisks.com or whatever the site is called?
