My pc has started shutting down every time I boot xp. I have tried
reinstalling xp no joy. I had an old version of Win98 laying around so I
loaded that and it works fine. I try to upgrade from there and I get the
same problem. I have reformatted my hard drive, I have even deleted the
partition and made a new one, but still no joy. Has anyone got any ideas?

"HOW TO: Prepare to Upgrade Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition to
Windows XP"

Upgrade from Windows 98 or Windows Me"
