Update - part I Saturday, June 9, 2001 at 8:06 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by NightCrawler (1 messages posted) I wiped out everything and started with a clean slate. No Win98, no System Commander...just a big ol' 30 GB HDD (with 1 NTFS partition and 4 FAT32) and Win2k. The install went pretty well, so I went to the Windows Update site and installed all the Critical Updates, MSIE 5.5, DX8, and a few other minor things. So far, so good. I then grabbed the Win2k Service Pack 1 (I avoided SP2, like you suggested) and installed it...BOOM!! Inaccessible Boot Device! Again, I tried the various repair options with no success. So, I nuked the whole thing and reinstalled it yet again (at least I'm getting good at that). So far, so good...but I'm giving the Service Packs a wide berth. I'm not having any shutdown issues, which was what I was posting about in ther first place, but I have yet to install anything beyond the Windows Updates. I'll keep you informed...the software is going in as soon as this hits the board. Guess what I'll be doing all night...? NightCrawler Written in response to: re: No go...
