Does your test computer ,which reproduces the errors Thom Numzum is reporting.. once it's solved.
I don't understand this sentence.
Or on the chance the "misunderstanding " of the Windows ,Bios, and it could be a partial cure for a problem w/ a desktop.
This one I don't understand either. Are you trying to ask whether or not the described dual boot problem is related to the issues that you have yourself (described below)?
The computer itself is and Emachine T2842.With 2.8gig Celeron ; 512 megs ddr2700 or (2100?) ram and an addittion we made was a pci video card, and S3 Virge dx .
The problem we have had w/ this box is the live evaluation disk hangs just after it appears to have located the usb items (Intelliflash USB 6 in 1 flash card reader etc.) once it gets to the check point of the pcmcia card(s) that we do not have. It never gets past that point, and the worry would be it might do the same on an install..
So questions..
one) could the computer restore itself to a more desireable state? Or would an install result in a *stop*( commplete lock/freeze/nothing is going to EVER! move) during an install ( of the full pro version.
I'm not sure I understand this question correctly. But yes, those problems should be solvable (if they show up on a real installation). First thing to try if any problems show up is the installation option "installation - safe settings" from the boot menu of the installation media.
Which leads to question two:
Will the full pro volume install on that emachine , w/ it equipped as described above?
I would expect so. The described dual boot problem does effect only a minority of users/systems. Greetings from Bremen hartmut
