Too long, huh?
I'm still fucked. Thanks to Partition magic I know what it is.
Error 1516 - Partition improperly dismounted
Have a bunch of partitions and wiped out my C: partition which actually had little on it. Formatted it as FAT32.
Tried a dozen times to install Win2K Pro or WinXP Pro.
It has issues with the partition. Windows ME happily installed and is what I'm using now.
The dealio is that all my other partitions are in NTFS.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP have different versions of NTFS.
Tried updating Windows ME to Win2KPro and WinXP Pro to no avail. Even hiding all the error prone partitions doesn't really help it.
15 hours straight today. |pissed|
Basically, the only thing that can fix the other partitions is reformatting them. Or getting WinXP or Win2K installed and possibly running chkdsk /f if the system can see the other drives.
I have a bunch of crap to do before I can even start to do an actual reinstall.
