I know this question has been asked, and I have read through previous
answers, but I cannot understand all the techie stuff. Can someone provide me
a simple "how to" based on the information below? I apologize in advance for
asking a question that has apparently been answered before.
It appears from my logs that my installation is failing due to Maxtor Hard
Drive issues. I have a maxtor 6L100P0 drive broken into 2 partitions (C:
drive and H: drive - both with XP Home SP2 on them) I am running install from
a copy of the MS supplied install disk that I copied to my local C: drive.
If I select the option to upgrade my install fails. I then selected the
clean install option and found the ability to add drivers. However, when I
do, no drivers are found (the box to show only compatible drivers is
checked). When I uncheck, a list of files appears (.inf and .drv files). Do
I simply select one of these and if so, which one? After I do this, can I
close the installation and go back to upgrade or must I do a clean install.
I really want to do an upgrade to avoid having to reinstall lots of programs.
Again, if at all possible, could someone provide a simple (at least as
simple as can be given that nothing seems simple these days) step by step
guide to accomplish the install?
Thanks again in advance for whatever help you can be. I would gladly supply
my install logs if any one needs them to answer my questions.
