Guest FrankyG Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Not a good morning so far; left my newly created W2k SP4 disk in the drive... started up this morning and while i wasn't looking booted from cd. Next time i looked setup was installing windows, but i have no idea if it's a fresh install or over the top of the existing. I dont know because setup crashes with a blue screen 'bad pool error'!! the existing setup was like this, C drive had boot files on it (from old W2K install) and the current install was on D. left to it's own devices, anyone know where w2k setup chooses to install to? will it choose an upgrade or fresh install... and most worryingly, will it format without user intervention? I've not had time to even try to sort this, but any info would be great. so typical, i ALWAYS use hibernate but did a proper shut down last night so i could reset my cable modem... Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Default install directory for 2k is C:WINNT, but it shouldnt have nuked anything, or even got past the "Welcome to Windows Setup" screen....
Guest FrankyG Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 it shouldnt have.... Yeah..straight from the book of IT excuses :roll: Not looking forward to sorting this one out....
