Alright I've read and researched and apparently XP NTFS can't run it. SO then I make a 2 gig FAT 32 partition and install BeOS Personnal Edition 5 onto that same partition and since I got Win XP I made the boot floppy. Alright I rebbot stick that floppy in the sucker and then it loads BeOS then crashes at the loading well basicly a rebbot cycle. SO i go ok no biggy I'll Just enter safe mode next time by hitting the space bar. enter safe run all the safe options loads alot longer this time but still reboots. I got a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53 ghz cpu Kingston 512 megs of Pc2700 ram Sound Blaster Live 5.1! MSI GeForce 4 TI-4200 TD-64 meg well I looked up my hardware and it's all compatible, so now I dunno wqhat do. Also booting with the lilo booter in linux is still a no go?

Get either the Developer Edition or Max at bebits.com. The AMD processor tell beos it is an Intel processor. Both above will allow you to put a better PE on that entire 2G partition. They have an edit for AMD's to tell force the use of an AMD patch.
