Hi
I have an old PC that was running Win98SE and I wanted to set up a wireless
LAN at home with my laptop. Unfortunately I couldn't get Win98 to work with
the WLAN card so created a second primary partition and installed XP Home on
it (kept the original 98 partition for gaming purposes etc).
Everything seems to be OK, except that whenever I start up the machine from
'off' (i.e. not just restart) the PC reboots several times just after the XP
splash screen. It does this 3 or 4 times and then insists that one of my
disks needs checking for consistency - and then XP starts as normal.
There's nothing odd in my Autoexec or Config.sys, and the only error in
event viewer is to do with 'IPSec Services failed to get the complete list of
network interfaces on the machine'.
Any idea what might be happening? Do I need to go into the BIOS and set the
P'n'P OS option to 'no'?
Many thanks
