Autoexec.bat in msconfig

[larjosh]

I have Compaq Presario v2000. I did a wipe clean on the hard disk and fdisk + format C:, after a clean install of W98se, I attempted to upgrade to Windows Me. All I get is not enough conventional memory to check my hard disk. and that I need to free some conventional memory before continuing.

Need a Answer

Why would you upgrade to Me???

 

[larjosh]

I tried Windows xp and it locked up. So I tried Me.

Are you booting from the Windows Me CD?

No. I'm attempting to up grade from windows98se and I'm getting a notice that setup does not have enough Conventional memory to check hard drive.

Thanks Grumpy, I resolved my problem. I purchased a cheap external floppy disk drive (usb) and was able to upgrade my OS.

Again, thanks
