I've had this problem with newer Dell and IBM machines. I usually have to fdisk/remove partition them 2 or 3 times but eventually I get it off there.

I don't know the deal here but you can install xp home on fat 32. I do all the time. It gives you the option. If you are upgrading to XP you really don't need to have another system there but you do need your key numbers.

E-mail for a boot disk and I'll send you a download. At the prompt you just type in setup.

uninstall all your networking stuff, delete and re-install winsock the setit all up again. If you have zone alarm, sygate, or another firewall on these things you got real problems.

Boot to command prompt, run C:\WINDOWS\Scandskw.exe see if that helps.

Before you reload Norton try AVG, it don't have these problems.

Windows 98 is fine. You shouldn't have to move the hard drive to another machine. Get a win98 start disc from a friend or e-mail for one. Set cmos to boot from the floppy first. Boot your machine with the "not from cd" option. At tha a prompt type c:\. At that prompt type fdisk. B e...

Let me know the out come of this. I've found that it leads to a mb/cpu failure nearly everytime. Thanks

Actually for the work you are doing, p-lll's are better suited. I find the XP cpu's to be pretty tempermental and eassily toasted. They run hot and don't care for multi-tasking. The motherboards are about the same. No longer than they have been out I've worked on more of these than any other...

I seem to be getting this a lot with via chipsets lately. Especially with 64gbyte nvida video cards. I'n thing AGP problems. It don't hurt anything but just pi**es me off.

A lot of the cheap nics have a bit higher system requirement level than what you have there. But it is probably a bad card.
