roel Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hi, i've got 2 ntfs hard drives. My c: which is formatted and my d: which contains my xpcd installation files. So i've been trying to install winxp from d: using ntfsdos pro (this is a dos program to read/write ntfs partitions)the problem is however that when i reboot (and start this program and smartdrv.exe) and then open my d:/xpcd/i386/winnt.exe i get the message that i have insufficient memory. This strikes me as a bit odd because i have a pretty good pc (512 MB DDR).Does anyone have a sollution for this, because i've been looking for so long to install windows this way . Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 This could be a limitation of ntfsdos which creates this error.You could try making a bartpe cd, and see if this will do what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 thx, but i really want to do this using ntfsdos, because i can't install the xpcd from windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenedy Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 NtfsDos uses some kind of memory manager (don't remember which one).Windows setup uses another. They are not compatible.Run into that problem when I wanted to create bootable CD with antivirus that could access NTFS partitions.Possible solution - create small FAT32 partition for that purpose.
