Hello all,


        I would like to thank everyone for their input.  But after
several hours of trouble-shooting without success, I decided to do a
fresh install with WinXP. This appears to have solved my previous issues
of not being able to boot from the hard drive (Using WinME) 

Thanks for the suggestions

Terrence

Hi,

Make/get a windows ME boot disk.  Copy it.  Work with the copy only.

Make sure the FDISK, sys, and command files (ME version)are on it. Add
them if you need to.

Bootup in the A drive.

Run:  fdisk/MBR

That should fix the master boot record for you.


Thanks and have a Great Day!

Hello all,


            I have a Windows ME box that will not boot from the C:
drive.  Whenever I restart the system, I receive the message "invalid
File System, please replace the device" (Don't quote me on the exact
error message).  I'm able to boot from a Win98se boot disk and by using
the Fdisk utility able to see the C:drive partition is set to active.
I'm also able to navigate through various folders on the C:drive through
the DOS environment.  Any suggestions?
