EDIT: Just looked at the NTFS for windows 98 site, need to copy files from the NTFS drive beforehand :p: Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Actually, all it needs are two system files. These can be copied from the XP Boot CD.

Re: Windows XP balls up

XP always balls up for me, and it's mostly because of Windows Explorer. When I close Windows Explorer at times (this can be random) the shell of Windows will crash, then restart so then my task bar doesn't have the icons that I need to see such as SETI's ones, then I have to kill the processes then restart them.

Does any one else get this?

Re: Windows XP balls up

had a similar problem with one of my systems. turned out to be RAM conflicts, one card was pc100 the other pc133, although it would run it would crash between 10mins - 3 hrs
