| 1279006 | 2012-06-02 04:15:00 | This link looks really promising. I'll have to wait a bit to try it though as I'm following your previous suggestion & preparing the new installation on (F) to be my system. I've brought over my Favs, Emails, Addresses & desktop. Loaded Antivirus & Firewall. Got it connected to the internet. Now I'm installing SP3 which takes a while.... I'll keep you posted. Tnx. |

| 1279007 | 2012-06-02 05:09:00 | It sounds like you really got the original install screwed up, probably from all the failed attempts at fixing it. Deleting the graphics driver should not have caused the problems you describe or you'd never be able to install windows at all, sounds like something else got corrupted in the process. The repair install should have worked but at this stage it might be better to just carry on with the new copy rather than go back and try to fix the old. You mention it turns itself off at times, probably something you should try to fix also. |

| 1279008 | 2012-06-02 06:01:00 | I'm doing Chkdisc on the original old version - but it's stalled at 50% now for 10mins..... I think you're right about abandoning the old OS & I reckon the 'turning off' problem was also associated with it being screwed up. The new OS runs really well. Update - the CHKDISC has got to 51% - will keep you posted...... |

| 1279009 | 2012-06-02 10:28:00 | OK - it completed that OK . Did most of the things from this link . microsoft . com/kb/314477" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com and found that the BOOT-INI was pointing to the wrong partitiion . Fixed that & it almost boots . . . Gets to the WIN LOGO then flips to Setup is being restarted . . . . Guess this is because of the several failed attempts earlier in the day to reinstall the OS on the old (C) drive . I wonder if there's a cluttered control in MSCONFIG or an entry in the REGISTRY that needs changing to stop this and allow the old system to boot . The new OS on (F) is going well . |
