I just got a new laptop (IBM thinkpad T40), and I want to partition the hard drive, convert the new partition to FAT, and install Windows 98 on the new volume.
The first step, I understand, is to create the partition, which can be done through the Disk Management windows interface. But this computer won't let me access "Disk Management". It gives me a little error screen, saying "Logical Disk Manager: The RPC server is unavailable." And at the bottom of the computer management window, it says "unable to connect to Logical Disk Manager service."
Seeing that, I went into the Computer Management\Services and Applications\Services to make sure that the Logical Disk Manager, Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and RPC locator were all enabled and started. They were. Now I'm stumped.
I've got another relatively new machine here, with Windows XP home edition, and it's letting me access the Disk Management service, no problem. Any clues? Hints? I'd be most grateful. I'm expected to have this all up and running tonight. eek
Thanks
