My Windows ME became unstable---freezing constantly. I
reformatted my hard drive and purchased Windows XP. With
a fresh hard dirve, all I have is a DOS prompt. How do I
load the new Windows XP?
 
u have two choices...create a new partition on your newly formatted drive to
lay down ME again to upgrade to XP. OR to CLEANLY install XP find a buddy
with a Dell OS CD with XP and format,install,and then format and install
your copy. Do not register pc upon first installation and do not delete the
small partition upon installing your copy...thats your valid previous OS.
cheers!
 
Put the xp cd into the cd drive. set your bios to boot from CD
Reboot pc and when it says press enter to boot from cd do it then follow the
prompts.
