I tried to upgrade my Win95 to Win2K over the weekend. It seems to work ok
for a while, checking and listing the existing programs and hardware devices
that may not work; re-boot a few times... Upon the third (or 4th) re-boot,
it came back with just a blue rectangle in the middle of the scren. I power
off and back on, same thing happens. I boot up with the win95 bootdisk and
couldn't find anything unusal from the logs (I probably didn't look at the
right places) but did find a folder with a lot of .chk files ... wondering
if I have made the mistake of accepting the convertion to NTFS and may be I
would be better off to do a clean install instead of the upgrade since I am
going to re-install most of the applications with their latest levels.
At the mean time, what can I do to at least get it back to a state that I
can continue the installation, or install from Scratch.
Thanks.

I would definitely recommend a clean installation as opposed to an upgrade,
especially if you are going to reinstall the application anyways. There are
always leftovers from the last install that can cause bugs and make the
computer slower.

Thanks for the advise .. my problem now is I cannot do anything with it, the
computer just sit there and do nothing ... before I format the hard-disk and
start from scratch.
