I am having a problem installing windows 2000 on my 486. Yes I am aware it is too slow to use
and that I should use 95/98 whatever. But swapping OSes is easy with CF cards so I want to try it.
The specs are
Acer AP43 motherboard
64 MB RAM
AM486DX-120 CPU
S3 Virge 4 MB
I put a 2GB CF card in the slot and autodetected in the BIOS
First I tried using the Win2k Boot floppy images and once the floppies finished, it said Starting Windows 2000
and then it blue screened
*** STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000094,0x8045C93B,0xFE5C24C8,0xFE5C9A08)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
*** Address 8045C93B base at 80x400000, DateStamp 384d5a76 - ntoskrnl.exe
I then did base installation of Windows 95 and tried to run a Windows 2000 upgrade.
It copyed files ok but when it rebooted, it did the same bluescreen.
Any ideas? I know some people have gotten win2k to work with 486 class machines.
I also know this disk is okay because I installed Win2k on an Athlon64 machine before
