ok so i put together a new system for my dad...his old system was a 133MHz compaq presario. I copied his harddrive to a spare and brought it home where i put everything together... System posts ok.
I bought a new maxtor 40gig 7200 rpm drive and began by copying the spare drive (the copy of my dad's) to the new 40gig.
then i booted up a windows98 boot disk and began WinMe setup...after scandisk and entry of the product key, i get a error message about enternet 300 is installed and must be removed....blah blah blah
the problem is i cannot boot into windows to delete/remove enternet...
i tried to remove the nts(nds?) file folder in program files folder (which contained the program file for enternet) but the setup program still sees enternet (in the registry i assume)
how can i edit the registry of a remote disk? What keys would i wanna delete??
are there any other workarounds?
BTW ststem specs:
Epox 8k7a
amd 1.33 Ghz 266 fsb retail
2X256Megs crucial pc2100
maxtor 40gig 7200rpm
leadtek geoforce2 pro 5.5ns 32M
Plextor 12x10x32x cdrw
toshiba 16x dvd
in an antex sx1030 case with lotsa fans
thanks for any help!
