Yes but what about boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect.com and bootsect.dos. Won't these files be deleted too? They are always located at C: when dual-booting. Win98 was at C: since it was his first OS install. Without "repairing" winXP how on earth he is going to load XP? (OK I know this is a very old post,but I couldn't resist posting,he he)

nitro322 can you suggest to me the use of any privately owned commercial unpackers, simply by adding them inside your BIN folder? I mean you don't have to use them inside the actual UE release ...just suggest all working ones. Is there a rights violation this way?

Greetings, I was browsing through some older posts, in this section of MSFN forums and I noticed KEW's post who's re-assembling old defunct PCs giving them to disabled people. That's a very humane action to me. Although I still use winMillennium myself since '01 without any serious problems, I know that there is a special version of winXP for outdated PCs. It's called " winXP For Legacy PCs " and/or " SW CD SA Win Fundamentals LPC 2006 English MultiLang WinFLp Core CD ". This particular OS runs pretty well on a 266MMX/128mb and upwards system. I believe it has a modified NT kernel with lower resource overhead. I've seen it installed in a 350mhz PII with 128mb memory and I couldn't believe my eyes! I know that win2000 was a real speed-runner with 128mb memory, but this XP version is really fast. Bye!

Thnx halohalo, Your post made me try, even the 4.11 Cats without any sign of success, unfortunaly. I believe I've tried everything on this here Earth, to make X850XT AGP, to give me a simple 1024x768 2D Desktop. From what I understand, is, although the c7_30314.INF gives the device ID to winME, the Driver files cannot trigger the interface accelerator correctly, (if at all!). That's real bad on ATI's behalf, because 18% of users worlwide still use the win9x kernel in their machines. I have never -ever had any serious unrecoverable problems with win9x. I have never lost precious data on 9x machines. I have Lowe's modified ESDI_505.PDR driver for 15 Terrabyte support on FAT32 HDs. The opposite happened with winXPSP1 quiet a few times in the past actually. I'll just have to wait until a part time coder at the AMD-ATI labs comes with a working piece of script for my legacy OS that is still functioning flawlesslly since December 2001 withought a re-format of any kind, with more than 400 apps installed and everyday use of the Internet for the past 5 years! Any suggestions will be appreciated

Greetings, Can anyone please help me to install ATI Cats for X850XT AGP (PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4B49 - R481_ENU), on a P4C800E-Delx machine, 3ple BOOT, (winME-win2K-winXP)? No problem so far with win2k-XP. Omega 6.9 installed OK. My Previous Card was a 9800XT with Cat5.2 on winME. I remember, I had to boot in SafeMode, and install the VIVO codec driver first for Windows Millennium to accept and procceed with the installation of 3D accelerator in Normal Mode afterwards. When I got the X850XT, I uninstalled everything, used DriverCleaner, I have also used an Ashampoo Uninstaller Log, (it's a Clean-Sweep clone uninstalling tool). Upon 1st Reboot, winME installed Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA) and the Standard PCI Graphics Adapter for the secondary Monitor. Well, since one of your members 've provided a walkthrough, I have done everything the same way. The only thing I'm not shure is which WDM version driver should I use. I've already downloaded the winME 6.2beta and tryied with no success. Also I can see the 2 Interfaces of X850XT in Device Manager, along with a Yellow Exlamation Mark next to them. I just need winME for use of some old accounting programs and safer Internet Browsing. Actually what I only need is a 1024x768 16bit Desktop! No 3D acceleration and no games whatsoever. Thnx!
