Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I didn't want to upset the 'use the search' police.
I have a similar problem as the original post.
I have an 80G HDD which I have partitioned 60/20 (C/D). I had Win ME originally but this crashd on a regular basis so I have been trying to upgrade to XP. I get part way through a load and it crashes, tried it many times but it always crashes, not even in the same place, it just randomly fails.
So I formated the C drive, and tried to clean install XP, it gets part way through and comes up with an error message, again a different message each time I try it.
I left the original disc format as FAT32 so I reloaded WinME (minimal load but with a better graphics driver) and tried to upgrade to XP. It still crashes part way through the upgrade load.
So I'm back with my old Win ME but frustrated to all hell.
Any ideas?
I have thought of throwing it through the window already!
