This site particularly focuses on Linux distributions and flavours of BSD, though other open source operating systems are sometimes discussed. DistroWatch is a website dedicated to talking about, reviewing and keeping up to date with open source operating systems.DistroWatch adalah sebuah situs web yang menampilkan berita, rangking popularitas, dan informasi umum lainnya dari berbagai varian distribusi Linux dan perangkat lunak bebas/sumber terbuka dari sistem operasi mirip Unix seperti OpenSolaris, MINIX, dan BSD.We have managed to back up all the data and are going to reformat and reinstall XP with a new Motherboard/RAM etc anyway as this one is 6+ years old. When I switch it on now it gives me the choice of booting Win XP or Win98, if I select Win XP then it just loops but if I select Win98 it boots fine. It installed it perfectly with no hassels so my conclusion is that one of the original viruses that were removed when I connected it to my other system had attatched themselves to one of the critical Win XP boot files - maybe boot.ini. I have since connected the original hard drive again and reinstalled Win98 on it from my Win98 Floppy boot disc and the original CD. Thank you everyone for all your help, especially SuperSam as your offer of assitance was extremely helpful!!! :rolleyes:įor anyone that is interested, last night I connected another hard drive to it after removing the original and it booted fine straight to Win98 (which was already installed on it). Please help me somebody before I launch this thing into outer space!!!!
#Knoppix boot only isolation drivers
I am ata complete loss as to whether the problem is somewhere on the motherboard/CMOS part or whether some of the loading drivers for Windows are missing. I also did a virus scan which located 12 files, 8 Viruses which I have finally removed completely. I have also removed the hard drive and connected it to my other system as a second drive, whilst this was done I was able to access files etc fine on it. If I press F8 when it is going through its loop I can get the boot options but no matter which one I try (and I have tried them all!!!) it just goes back to its boot loop. Also, this will reinstall WIN98 which is not required as it currently has XP. I have changed the BIOS setting to alter the boot drive order - when I manage to get it to attempt to boot from a cd (ideally the XP one) if just very quickly lists both cd drives on a black screen as faulty) I can manage to get it to boot from a WIN98 recovery floppy disk but obviously this will format the hard drive and lose all the data which is not backed up. I have tried everything I keep think if to get it running - different RAM (as I know faulty RAM can cause a boot loop), the RAM in a different slot.
#Knoppix boot only isolation Pc
I have a pc that I desperately trying to get booted.Īll it seems to want to do is go into a boot loop of 2 different screens, the first a black one with little information (NVidia etc) - the second one from Phoenix Technologies, award BIOS stating the Processor (AMD Athlon 1000MHz), Ram (128MB), and the drives it has (HD 20.4Gb + CD-Rom).
