XP OPERATING SYSTEM
If you have a Windows ME bootdisk put it in the A: drive and start the computer.
At the 1st screen choose Minimal Boot and allow the prompt to load.
Then type: A:\>scandisk /all /surface , and press Enter.
(This will take about 1 hour per 10 Gigabytes of drive-space.)
If you don't have a Windows ME bootdisk then go to thisd site BOOTDISKS
Downoad the Windows ME OEM image file to another computer and double-click on the
file. You'll need a formatted floppy diskette.
Also download DELINDEX.BAT
Copy the Delindex file to the newly made bootdisk and (before you type the scandisk
command) type:
A:\>delindex run , and press Enter.
This will clear a lot of the junk files off the system and probably allow you to
boot to Safe Mode where you can then run: defrag.
It might also be that the logo.sys file which is the white ME screen which you are
seeing, is corrupt. So look for logo.sys and delete the file.
If you have the Windows Start-Up sound on turn it OFF as corruption of this file
can prevent starting as well.
