You're right. I was thinking about that when I saw your previous email. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Burger Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 2:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: reload WIN98 in a dual boot
The problem with that is that, if he's reinstalling because the registry, and therefore Windows, has become too flakey, simply renaming/removing win.com will keep the crapped out registry in place. Also, it might look for "command.com" as well, causing it to not install. The method I posted works well, doesn't care that a version of Windows might already be installed, and also doesn't require the installer to look for the CD-ROM when it needs drivers and such that came with Windows. Since the contents of the CD-ROM are already on teh HD, the install procedure always looks there. On Mon, 14 Oct 2002, Shane C Branch wrote: > You can rename your win.com file to win.old.
