HELP! - Boot manager
Hello
I also had multiple failures with install using the DVD I burned, ended up formating an PATA drive (could not get Via drivers to work for my SATA) installed XP Pro SP2 on the drive updated it via windows update (did not install any programs) then copied the Vista Install DVD to a folder on the XP disk and installed it from XP using the folder copy of the install disk. went in like a charm, I was very frustrated as the DVD was checksumed ok and just stopped installing for some reason. very cumbersome way to install, BUT the key is it installed and is working well my "bi*ch" is that UAC is unweldy and makes my MS Outlook 2007 Beta not able to use hyperlinks or update from the help menu. I am using administrator privileges and still cannot get away from the " The operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Pleas contact your system administrator" WHAT RESTRICTIONS, WOW Good luck on your installs Jones -- "There''''s Things I am and Things I''''m Not" "Michelle" wrote: Hello, I am at the end of my rope... I use Windows XP SP2 - and I tried to load the beta (RC1) of Windows Vista on a new partition, the installation was unsuccesful, and after the unsuccesful install attempt I can no longer see the image on the CD, just a txt file. Anyway, this is incedental. I have deleted the partition, the files have all disappeared (I assume deleted with the partition), and I want to get back to normal, but at startup, I get a message telling me tht some file is missing or corrupt, then when I press enter, I get the boot manager that offers to start Earlier version of windows, or (nonexistant) Windows Vista or something else that doesn't work. I want to get rid of it all and just get back to normal Windows XP startup. What do I have to do? Any ideas... please... M |
