Hello,
Today I attempted to install my copy of Longhorn. Here is my story.
Today I attempted to install my copy of Longhorn. Here is my story.
- I want to install this on my second, empty hard drive, so I decide to install from Windows. Everything goes well until I have to restart. I do, it boots to setup, but then I am told the drive isn't available for use. Funny, it said it was in Windows.
- So, I try again, nothing. I decide, "Let's start the install from DOS." Now it doesn't even show the drive. So I go to install it, thinking I will be able to rename the "Windows" folder for Longhorn, and instead it renames my folder w/ XP, leaving XP useless. "####!" I say, but since I have no choice, I continue.
- When I get to the "Hardware search" part, it says it takes 10 minutes tops to search. Cool with me, so I go and take a 30 minute shower. I come back down, hard drive is whirring, but no movement since I left. I restart, try again. And again. And now I have 2 "Microsoft Codename Longhorn" options in my MBR. What is up?
