<FONT face=arial size=2>specs:
dell dimension xpst600r
p3 600e
win 98 se
10gb harddrive
128mb ram
i can get all the way through formatting (it seems). once the copying files finishes and goes to detecting plug and pray devices, the machine reboots and i am only able to get into windows via safe mode. this is where i find that the disk has not been formatted as all the original data is still on the machine.
i am using the original install disks that came with the machine.
the only error that i can see during boot up is:
-creative sb16 emulation driver requires emm386 or similar
-creative sb16 emulation driver NOT loading
i have tried scandisk but it keeps restarting and will not finish. is the hardware dying or is there something wrong with my installation steps.</FONT>
