Lammie Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 My uncle dumped his computer on me to fix as it was infested with spyware and was experiencing some pretty nasty explorer crashes. I decided to upgrade from 98 to 2000, and hopefully fix the continuous explorer crashes. I ran the 2000 setup. Setup ran as expected the first time, but on a required reboot the setup began all over again! Now it just seems stuck in a loop of installing, rebooting, and starting over again! I have no idea how to fix this, I don't get a chance to insert any disk other than the install disk and I can't get a command line or anything up. At the moment I'm considering installing a new HD, and doing a clean install and transferring the old files from the f**cked up HD.
Dieter Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Does the pc automatically boot off the CD-ROM drive? If so, remove it so it HAS to boot off the HD. It'll ask for the CD again if it goes back into setup.
Lammie Posted October 24, 2005 Author Posted October 24, 2005 Yeah, I've tried that, but it wont accept any other disk other than he Win2k disk.
