I had to give Win2000 up.............:(

[Kyosho46vr 0]

Well this week-end was the last straw, My girlfriend bought me a Flight Sim for my RC Helicopter but the LPT interface for my Futaba radio upon reboot took my system down,

INVALID TIMESTAMP in NTOSKRNL.EXE............

nothing would fix it, repair, couldn't get into safe mode, reloaded 2 and same mess. So I call the Sim's tech support and they acknowledge the problem and say I am 1 of 6000 unhappy consumers trying to use there Win2000 compatible Sim........so being the Flight Sim eas 229.00, I have elected to run ME and I must say I really miss Win2000.

 

Really Bummed.............Ned

ouch crappy, i actually have had that blue screen of death as well, and i actually fixed once!!!!!! i took me 3 hours, but i basically took my other HD (40g maxtor) and installed iwn 2k on it as my primary main o/s, then i put the drive that crashed (20g IBM , originally c: drive, in a as a slave, then recovered all my data (20g worth in 3 partitions)

why didn't you just set it up to dual boot 9x and 2k? i don't think giving up a great OS like Win2k is worth it because of one program or piece of hardware.

Yup if ya got the HD space or a second drive dual booting is the way to go. Nothing like having the best of both worlds.
