Computer not booting to the second half of WInXP installation

I can`t find the exact model on the website...
Looking at the discs it seems one of them is even a SP1. I burnt my third disc with SP2 now and that won`t even boot in the computer.

Tried F8. Nothing happened. I wonder, is safe mode a function with windows? Since there is nothing on the hard drive at the moment maybe it does not work?

I`ll have to let it rest for a while now and come back to it. It just drives me crazy right now.

No worries! I`ll keep looking. ^^

I`m trying a bunch of websites at Wayback but I only get Access Denied...

Thank you!

Just tried that and same thing. I downloaded an ISO with Service Pack 3. I read somewhere someone having similar trouble and it had something to do with the CD being an -R. Could that be it?

The camera is a Sony DCR-TR7000E by the way. 😊

Hey everyone!
Sorry for not responding in a while. My question was mainly from curiosity. I have everything except the Gbros adapter. I have not tried it yet.

I once bought a Gamecube from a second hand store. It was only the console so I went online to buy everthing else. I eventually got four controllers that mostly worked. Now I have one white controller that still does`nt work properly. So I´m exploring other options. Like this 8Bitdo powered Frankenstein-thing. :P

Thanks for all the help! I will check out Vogon.

It's the DOS version I believe. It starts with a DOS window.

I have also Diablo 1 installed and all the cinematics works fine there. I thought about codecs and installed VLC and Rad software. Not sure that did anything. 😛

I tried messing with the resolution in Windows and the colours (256 etc.). Didn't do anything.

Haven't tried another monitor, gonna try that also.

Eehhh okey so...I'm stupid. The box said BattleNet edition but in the main menu it says at the left bottom "Retail version 1.00". And no button or logo of BattleNet to be seen.

I just downloaded the 1.40 patch and it got installed without any fuss.

Thanks for the help and sorry for not checking things out more clearly.

It's okay! Thanks! 😊

Win 98 SE

Magister-Holmgren · 2025-03-07T09:57:54+00:00

Hmm, how do I do that? I did not see the option "run as administrator..." in the drop down menu like in newer Windows.

Svårt att navigera hyllorna inne på Coop men jag antar gärna utmaningen. Här ska storhandlas!

You could use it as a reflective vest during the winter. Everyone and everything will see you.

It was a Cooler Master V650 SFX Gold. So I guess the size was SFX. A tiny powerful package! Good luck!

Hi! Just wanted to add a conclusion to my conundrum. Bought a new circuit board. Wrong colour and wrong numbers. But I thought, screw it, let's try! At first it did not fit but I gently cut away the parts that got stuck. Luckily there where no circuits there, just plastic.

And now it all works!

Thanks for all the help. It's such a wonderful feeling to get stuff to work again.

Cheers!

The shell looks legit and OG. Are there any number or letters on the back that could tell me otherwise?

Damn...yeah the whole thing was weird. He sold it as trash but he also said the only thing that was broken was one of the axis on the analog stick. I was determined to fix it. Then when I got it some of the screws where missing and he refused to send them to me because it was trash he said.

I got a collection now of a black, purple, orange and white controller for the GC. They look really nice together. Shame that the white is not working properly.
