ok I have read every stinkin forum from here to mexico, and I .... well here is my trouble like I have seen a million times "I have boot trouble with BeOs"
I have win xp, 500 mhz 196 ram, I downloaded Beos PE 5 and I installed looks like all that went fine. I never seen BeOs yet :), anyway I created bootfloppy and rebooted, got to screen where it said Be loader... and then error said too many disk errors. So I removed disk and rebotted to windows, and reformated a new floppy and tried again, same thing. In windows I opened a:/ to view contents of floppy and it wont open says please insert disk or format disk its not formatted. I did this over and over format copy boot disk reboot etc. I WANT BEOS NOW! lol :) please help thanks Randy

I installed on my wifes win 2000 pc and it works fine. well altho I had to start in safe cause of video prob. but it worked. mine just gives this too many disk errors, I even tried scanning disk and fix errors. Oh and I used the same floppy on win 2000 pc and it worked, one other thing I know when I start up the command prompt it gives some to mant parameter error a couple times before the c:/ prompt comes up it started this after I installed win xp cause it got like 2 prompts or something I see one is command.com and the other is cmd.exe when I type cmd.exe I dont get that error any way errgg I dont understand what thats all about.
