I have been trying to fix my sisters boyfriends mums computer. I re-formatted the drive, then used the 4 setup disks for Windows 2000 Pro, so far so good. Then it gives me the information of the drive, size, file system etc.
The file system was FAT32, and as far as i know, the NTFS is better, and more compatible with Windows 32? maybe compatible is not the word but anyway, I converted the drive to NTFS from FAT32, after that it said:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following value in the .SIG file used by setup is
corrupt or missing:
Value 0 on the line in section [ SourceDisksFile ]
with key "sp4.cab."
Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's really a pain because every time i want to try again i have to load the 4 setup disks etc. At the moment it says the File system is NTFS, but then when it asks if i want to partition or install windows, it asks if i want to convert to NTFS...which doesn't really make sense.
Can someone please advise me on the way forward from here? Ideally just a quick step by step guide so i can get this done once and for all. Thx alot.
I am going from Windows ME to Windows 2000 Pro...
We need to get you booted from the CD so that you have access to the console, other repair options, or just plain reinstalling. The missing NTLDR error shouldn't be coming from the CD if it's an original.
