I did not mean for a single person to be the owner. I tried making "Administrator" owner of the drive and it denied access. I then tried making the Group "Administrators" owner of the drive and it worked fine.
good luck
If he does not have a FAT16 boot partition, then this will work not until a service pack (4). Most undoubtedly, his Win2k drive is FAT32 or NTFS 5.0, and NT cannot read from either of these for boot.
What about drive letters? Win2k will not allow itself to be pushed from C: to D: because it...
I could rant about this but here is a place to go to:
Win2k Boot Issues Just sign up with an email address, etc. because it is worth the read.
The main points are this:
1) You should have a small boot partition formatted to FAT16 since NT cannot read FAT32 on install.
2) NT should always be...
Have you changed the local group policy at all using the MMC? If not, check your administrative permissions on the drive (if NTFS). I had this happen but I rebooted and it went away. :confused:
Edit: check administrative rights on the drive if NTFS. Right click on a hard drive and choose...

I know that it is the little balloon thing in the corner (sorta implied by the title of the thread) but that balloon, typically, only stays as a nuisance until you turn off the larger window--the big stupid one with the check box. the larger window being on must tell Win2k to treat...
What I want to know is what does he expect to gain from this? He has a 45GB hard drive and probably 256MB of it will be taken by default for Virtual Memory. Why not just leave it be? 98 is crap for software and I have seen people destroy their systems or run into terrible problems when...
Been using Win2k since the day it reached market. I use computers with Win2k constantly (work and home) and I have had TWO lockups in over a year of use. One lockup happened when I kicked my computer by accident and it fell over giving me a blue screen; the other occurred after using it for 11...
no offense but wasn't it obvious how to make that thing stop? It never comes on (or shouldn't, at least) after you turn off the startup Windows Welcome Box (the dialog box in the link with the "show this screen at startup" button). Maybe you use that thing...
