mcartwright 0 Posted January 14, 2003 I previously posted re: CD-ROM problems - thanks all for your help but still no joy. it was suggested to tri a reinstall. I have the original CD-ROM and went for the 'upgrade' prompt. All was well until the system reboots after the initial bit of the install and prompts for the disc to be inserted in the CD ROM. I can't 'see' the internal D drive but can see an external CD drive (E). Is there a way I can use the E drive to continue? Or if I go for a clean install will I have the same hurdle> Does a clean install maintain my existing applications and data? Thanks for your advise. Mark Share this post Link to post
Ali 0 Posted February 18, 2003 a clean install will delete your registery (meaning you have to reinstall your applications). i think during the installation you can change the path of the installation files (you can direct the setup to your external drive). Share this post Link to post
