Hello,
I have had my "free" copy of Windows 64 sitting around for a couple months and finally have decided to install it. I have some problems now??? I have 2 hard drives, a seagate 7200.7 200 Gb and I just bought a seagate 7200.8 250 Gb for the new OS. I unplugged my 7200.7 (both drives sata) and proceeded with new windows install.
Formatted drive
Installed OS (initial blue screen)
Windows reboots and then gives me "error loading OS"... I have to go back to boot from CD and start over???????
Anyone know what would cause this.
Problem 2... On my Windows XP Pro I use Norton Internet Security 2005. Will this work with the Windows 64 OS??? If not I may use the free Windows firewall or does anyone have suggestions for free antivirus / software firewall for Windows 64?
I can also use the Nvidia firewall for free on my NF3-250 mobo.
Thank you!!!
EDIT
Ok... I left both hard drive plugged in and I select to intall the new OS on the 250 Gb 7200.8 Seagate (the old 7200.7 200 Gb drive has my XP Pro 32 on it. When I install now and reboot I get this error:
Windows could not install because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows Root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
What do I do now??? How to I get XP 64 to fix this error on reboot after installing to a new formatted HD?
Also... the 2 hard drives are show at bootup on a reboot (one with xp & one with xp64). The system has the xp64 highlighted by default and gives 0 seconds to select? How do I change how long I get to select a HD and how do I make XP 32 the default selected (for my wife)?
Thank you!!!!
