Hi All,

I needed more more for W2K. I removed 98, could not boot.
Converted logical surrounded NTFS to Primary. Could not
boot. Increased size of NTFS, Created 31MB Fat partition
at front of disk. Formatted FAT via another W2K machine,
installed NTLDR, adjusted boot.ini, etc. and got W2K to
boot. Logged in and then got an error message about how
virtual memory (pagefile.sys) could not be found or was
too small. It explained how to increase size/fix
pagefile.sys. OK cool. I then get thrown right back to the
login screen and can't get to Control Panel/System.

Does anybody know a work around? Command line options
don't seem to support fixing virtual memory issues.

Thanks,

Kevin

Depending on what happened one of these may help.
