I'm still trying to figure out why Windows XP would not let me install some files like "progman.exe"...even though I must have tried 50 times to get it to copy that file.
I got a reply from someone, and he said that the file was from Windows 3.1....and not an important file, so I'm not really too worried about the file not loading . My XP install seems to be running ok.
But it WAs weird, that no matter what i did I couldn't copy the file during install and had to skip it.
The rest of the message when I couldn't copy the file said something like, "the image file is not a valid setup file". It was something like that.
So, what my main question is, if I formatted ...using the selection to use NTFS......................wouldn't I have a clean hard disk?
Does Windows leave remanents of a previous install of "Win XP "on the hard drive? (maybe that's why I was having problems reinstalling)
Is there another way to format than selecting the option from the cd that works better?
Thanks
