I m using windows XP Pro. due to lack of space on the hard disk i want to format my c drive and install win 98replacement windows

Think twice before moving back to Win 98. I think there is no support for Win 98 nowadays. Also, most of the software that are coming out are for XP.

To format your C drive, check this link out.

to format the system..

1. Insert the Win98 Bootable CD

2. choose CD ROM support from the menu (3 options).

3. type the command fdisk and hit enter

4. follow the instructions to format.

5. now go to CD Drive from the command prompt (go to win 96 folder)

6. type setup and hit enter.

DONE...
If you reveret back to Win98 you will not be able to download and install all the security patches from Microsoft. They stopped supporting Win98 in 2004/2005...Next to be stopped is Windows Me/ then Win2k.......They are trying to push everyone to use Windows XP home/professional or Vista......Thanks
re-partitioning and formatting using dos commands can be difficult if you have not tried it before. So if you have win XP cd, boot from it, then when you come to a screen where you are asked to choose the partition on which to install xp, you will see a list of available partitions in the lower panel on the same window. You can press appropriate keys, as mentioned on the screen to first

1) delete all partitions

2) create new partition/s of the desired size

Then exit after partitioning, by turning power off, then take out the cd while rebooting.

After that insert the win98 cd and start the installtion. It will choose the partition to install windows and then start formatting automatically.

However if you do not want to repartition and only format then boot in dos mode using the win98 cd and use the command

format c:\ press Enter

to format another partition, format d:\ etc, to format your existing partitions.

My window xp pro hangs when I run the recovery console?

I get to the point where it asks which windows installation I would like to log into but when I type 1 (1: C\WINDOWS) It does not proceed beyond that point. What can I do? I don't want to reinstall xp Pro because I'll loose all my data that way.

My window xp pro hangs when I run the recovery console?microsoft support

I've never had a problem with XP pro. Put the cd in the cd player and reboot. To make sure that it's booting from the proper mount point, press delete, or whatever key brings up your bios. Check your bios settings for boot sequece to make sure that the CD is the first boot option, then the hardrive is the second, then the floppy, or USB is the third option. Then press F10 and continue with the boot process. When it asks for fail safe mode, hit that. If you get into the operating system, then power back out and reboot and choose windows.

Sound to me like your whole life is wrapped up into windows (Microsoft). Try installing Debian (open source Linux) along with your window and use the YaST configure utility to lengthen the time it takes to choose between operating systems from 7 seconds to 999 seconds, then have fun with both. If your Windows gives you a problem again, you'll have Linux to save your system with.

What are the fundamental differences between XP Pro and Windows Media Operating systems?

What can Media OS do that XP Pro cannot and vice versa?

What are the fundamental differences between XP Pro and Windows Media Operating systems?microsoft visual studio

Media Center is based on XP Pro, but many of the more advanced features are missing. Call it a stronger Home Edition with more crap you don't need (for a laptop, at least). The biggest adavantage for home users is that Media Center supports 2 processors/dual core, which Home Edition does not. Pro by itself supports 2 processors. Laptops as of now, don't.

Window xp pro installation?

I installed win xp pro. everytime I start the computer I have to click the administrator button to get to the desktop. I never created an admin account during install and all I want windows to do is boot straight to the desktop, without having to click any accounts. how do I fix/change this?

thanks

Window xp pro installation?microsoft windows xp

Remove the password from the account that was created. On My XP Pro I never created any account and it goes straight to the Desktop.

Start - Run - control passwords2 - uncheck the box that requires username and password.

Window xp pro installation?ie 7 internet explorer

Start-Control Panel-Users

Make sure an other account other then Administrator exists. If one doesn't, create another new account and then restart the computer, should fix it. Also, an option to auto login should exist in there but not to sure (I'm on a Mac)
Go to Start%26gt;Control Panel%26gt;User Accounts%26gt;Change the way users log on or off and check the Use Welcome Screen and Use Fast User Switching boxes. Hope it helps.
Win xp pro is for a reason!

Go to control panel

Open User accounts

Click Change the way users log on and off

Make sure the two boxes are selected and apply options

Stick boot disk into floppt drive,,reboot,,,

then at the A:\ prompt, type:

SYS C:

windows 98 boot disk will not let you boot a xp install
You can boot using an XP CD and read files that you created on the hard drive, but you cannot run any programs that were installed.

For example, you can copy off documents, but cannot open them in word.

I want to replace my windows with XP Pro edition. When i do that, will i loose anything kept in Yaho

No. First of all, Yahoo's information is stored remotely on Yahoo's servers. Secondly, if it were on your computer, you still wouldn't lose anything if you did a basic upgrade. Using a regular WinXP disk or a Upgrade disk, you can upgrade from previous versions of Windows without losing data. Just pop in the disk and follow the instructions.

you shouldn't

I want to replace my windows with XP Pro edition. When i do that, will i loose anything kept in Yahoo?download ie internet explorer

No, Yahoo's information is stored on their server.

(I am assuming you speak of email messages @yahoo, and yahoo messenger contacts.)
No, yahoo isn't on your computer (unless you've downloaded/used a mail client other than using your browser to navigate yahoo! Then, if you've downloaded all your mail, you'd have to back that up to a CD or something and install XP pro.) Yahoo isn't sitting in your hard drive.
the bigger question is, replace it with what??? and why??? unless ur looking at Vista, why replace it? if ur just reinstalling, as long as you dont format the drive u shud be ok.
No, Yahoo is entirely web based. The only thing you will have to remember is your Username and Password. In fact you can us Yahoo from any internet connected computer in the world!
No. Yahoo is accessible on any computer anywhere you are..
no just save mind your desktop

What is the difference between Windows XP and Pro?

I have both operation systems and im not sure whaet the difference is

What is the difference between Windows XP and Pro?internet explorer internet explorer

What is Pro? There is a Windows XP Home Edition and a Windows XP Professional edition. Are you trying to figure out the differences between the two or are you trying to compare Windows XP with another operating system?
Pro has more UI (user interface) custimization features and more in depth options for networking and such. Home and Pro are very similar and for anyone who doesn't know the difference you most likely do not need Pro anyway. Media edition is a 3rd version of XP that incorporates remote controls and such and improved movie watching etc. Probably best to download all 3 and try them out =p JUST KIDDING don't download programs.......
This is the best website for finding the difference between Windows XP Home and Professional editions. The difference lies in features such as security, file sharing, group policies, file management, user management, etc. Overall, the operating systems are pretty much similar in terms of looks. All the differences are under the hood. Needless to say, Pro is more secure and robust than the Home edition.
one is for novice and other is for professionals.
