Installation:
-
Windows 98 supports FAT (FAT16) and FAT32. It doesn’t support NTFS
file system. If you need to install 2000 Professional with Windows
98 on the same partition for dual boot, you can install either on
the FAT file systems or on the FAT32 for dual boot.
-
You don’t need to have a network card installed for successful
installation of Windows 2000 Professional. You can use loop back
adapter for this purpose and proceed with the installation.
-
When you install Windows 2000 in the same folder as that of Windows
95/ Windows 98/ Windows NT, the operating system gets upgraded to
Windows 2000.
-
Blue screen messages are also called STOP messages. You will not be
allowed to proceed, when a blue screen message appears. The most
likely cause of blue screen messages are:
1. Boot sector virus
2. IRQ/ IO address conflicts.
-

useful if you have any problem with a newly installed video driver,
and revert to a standard VGA display.

configuration that was stored when it was booted successfully last
time. However, this option can’t take care of any hardware related
