Shamrock 0 Posted October 4, 2001 hi, Everytime I format my PC, and I install Win2k, it asks me to enable SMARTDrive, or else it will go slow. How do I get SMARTDrive enabled? I use a Win98 bootdisk, should I use an old DOS 6.22 boot instead? and if you can, provide me a link to get SMARTDrive? Thanks, Shamrock Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted October 4, 2001 Boot from the 2k CD or the 2k bootdisks. There is no reason to load WINNT.EXE from the DOS prompt. Unless you can't boot from CD or your floppy is dead. Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted October 4, 2001 yea, booting from the cd or floppies is a hell of a lot easier, but if you can't, download Smartdrive here: http://users.intrepid.net/~eddie/smartdrv.exe now just put this on a floppy and run it before running winnt.exe. Share this post Link to post
