to all,
last night i got my hands on xp pro and went through the process of
upgrading my laptop from xp home. i need it for the iis and related tools so
that i can fully se .NET. Any, at the begining of the install, i got the blue
screen of death saying "was unable to verify drive C" i tried a couple of
things, then rebooted. as my pc comes back to life, i get a prompt with a
choice of what operating system to go into, home or pro, and then thereis a
third choice too. going into pro, only leads me to reinsserting my install
disk, and then getting the same error messages, on using the home os
everything is all screwed up (half my tools dont work, my fonts aRe all off,
things running slow etc) i used system restore to fix this after the first
attempt, then on my second attempt, i went back to system restore, only to
find all my dates had gone. so, apologies if this is long winded, now i am at
a point, where i i just want to completly remove xp pro and have what i had
to start with. i looked in add/remove programs to see if i could just
uninstall what had gotten onto my pc there, but couldnt find anything. can
someone please help me with this, or help me fix my problem with the install.
i read a few related articles to this error message, but none of the
solutions sound like they are for my laptop as i had xp home to start with so
all my hardware should be fine..... correct?
anyway, i am off to work, thanks for an help, i will beback in 9 hours
