I have tried using my friends copy of Vista instead, but it will not let me get to the command prompt as the two versions are different (he has 64x and Everex gave me 32x) so I cannot get to CMD. I have tried installing the 64x version, but Everex does not support it and thus I cannot get any drivers to install
I have also tried installing Vista after XP but when I install Vista it formats the partition that xp was on...
Is there any other way to get to the CMD without using the Vista Disk? I have also tried running CMD while in windows but it does not recognize the Bootrec.exe /fixMBR command
Thank-you for your time. |
You can get to the prompt without the vista cd, unfortunately this does you no good without the proper programs to install the boot manager. You could try making a windows98 bootdisk or a command.com boot disk and adding the applications to the disk and running them manually. I am extremely busy for the next week or so, but i will add this to my to do list and try and make a copy to be added to the download links here.
