Question about 'How do I boot into Windows XP or Windows 2000 with a floppy?' Saturday, March 16, 2002 at 6:49 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Colin (1 messages posted) I bought a new computer (Oct.2001) with Windows XP Home Edition pre loaded. I recently (1 week ago) bought Windows XP Professional (upgrade) and tried to upgrade my computer. Due to the computer "locking up"-blue screen /stop messages/IRQ's, I contacted Microsoft (US) support. The Microsoft Tech.(e-mail) has instructed me to use Win 98 start up (floppy) disk to boot up and enter "DOS" and type in changes (which Im not able to do) now he instructs me to change the BIOS to boot up from the cd. Has anyone had this problem or can help. Responses to this message: re: Question about 'How do I boot into Windows XP or Windows 2000 with a floppy?'
