I apologise in advance if this tread is comewhere else in the forum but I could not find an answer.
I have a neighbours IBM PII 350 that they got from work. It has win2k on it on a drive that is 3.2GB but partitioned into 2 , 1.5 GB drives.
Right now the one drive is NTFS and the other fat. When they try to boot it gets to the windows desktop and a message saying explorer.exe has generated errors and must be shut down . At this point it keeps looping in the start sequence. There is nothing on either drive that they care to keep so I would like to fdisk and make it one partition.Reformat and reinstall OS. There is no way in the bios for changing boot sequences so that I can make it boot from the cd either. I can't figure out how to create a boot disk as the one I have is for fat 32 and if I try to fdisk it only recognises the fat partition.
Any help would be great and I thank everyone in advance.
