I don’t *have* a new motherboard. This is not going to be good.
- Windows refuses to start up unless it’s just come from Safe Mode.
- Windows refuses to start up. At All. Except in Safe Mode.
*sigh*
- Use Safe Mode to backup all user files on C: to D:
- Reboot to Messydos.
- c:windows>cd D:
d:>format C:
All data on non-removable drive C: will be lost! Are you sure you want to do this (You moron)? (Y/y)
*pause*
d:>cd win98
d:win98>setup - Windows setup runs. Feed it install stuff, then I go out to buy a lavalamp
- I come back to find: Windows cannot read the system files from the CD, please clean it with a damp cloth.” All very well, except it’s installing from the FUCKING HARD DRIVE.
- Swear
- Repeat above until bored
- Reboot.
- Insert Win98 Boot Disk (*always* have a boot disk)
- “Invalid System Disk. Please replace and try again”
Fuck
- Reboot to Linux
- Wonder who I can get a boot disk from
