I have an old laptop. Its unique because its 12" and quite small. Its only 266mhz and im currently running DSL linux on it.
I tried copying the setup files win2k into into the drive after formatting the hard drive with a Windows 98 boot disk. Windows 2000 installed fine up until the point where it would restart and finalize the setup. It would give me the error of ntloader not found. I did some googling and I don't think most of that stuff applies to me. I wasn't upgrading, its a fat32 formatted 12gig drive that shouldn't cause any problems so im going to conclude that the BIOS probably doesn't know what the heck NTloader is.
I have obviously searched for a bios update... but I don't htink the company even exists anymore
If you can't think of a solution thats fine, don't think too much about it!
Linux is slowly growing on me. Its very interesting and a fun learning experience. Was thinking normal windows (non 9x based for security concerns) would be nice to have.
