Guest Brynk Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I'm trying to load a fresh W2000 on an xp machine that got full of viruses and malware and can't clean up enuf When I boot and run setup off the W2000 cd I get errors If I select format NTFS or format FAT, I am told the disk may be damaged I've run disk check and found no problems I get the same error when I try to load it on an other hard drive on the same machine If I select Leave the current file system intact, I error out (Setup cannot copy the file:) almost immediately during file copying at autoconv.exe What am I doing wrong? Would it help if I format c: from a startup floppy w/ system files? Where do I find the files for such a floppy?? Thanks, Barry
