Past two days my system has been running well, then came this morning.
I can't seem to resolve my problems with unintentional restarts.
Having difficulty with obtaining a "Rescue Disk" and I'm tempted to do a Vista Install on top of my current XP.
Bad idea, Good idea or jury-rigging?
If its not a bad idea WTF do I do with the .RSO file once it's Dl'd ?
Current set-up:
Windows XP Media Edition
Intel P4 3.0 w/Hyperthreading
1 gig DDR2 SDRAM @ 533
256MB PCI-E ATI Hyper-mem video
Worst case scenario: I have a P3 but the OS is dead (win98 CD avail) along with the CD-ROM, can't/won't boot to FireWire drive. Would have to buy & install CD-ROM, still have the P4 on the shelf, but I could get on-line.
Should I install Win98 on the P4?
I don't wanna hear "Buy XP for P4" but fear that's my only option.
HELP !
Thanks for your time,
Dante
Please forgive the sentence structure, I'm drinking out of my Pimp-Cup.
EDIT: Should I have tried to DL the .RSO directly to DVD? (didn't look if this was an option afraid to restart & DL)

The best way to take care of this problem, take it to a firing range and fire upon the computer. Problem solve. tell husband you need a new computer as your old one went up in smoke. Case solve

From what I have read, the .rso file has to be burned to a DVD and then ran from there in order to install Vista. EVERYTHING I have read says to install Vista on another drive totally seperate from XP. Who knows what would happen if you tried to install Vista over what you have now. What I would do is buy a home copy of XP and then totally reformat your HD and reinstall XP.
