Hi All,

I am trying to reinstall windows2000 from dos.

I boot with a standard win98se dos boot disk.

When I execute winnt.exe I get the error program to big to fit in memory.

I have tried everything to fix this (edited config.sys, virus checks, ram check, etc...).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Mucho,

polzzz

Hi Joker,

Honestly, it doesn't matter because neither of them will load up right.

They both give the same error program to big to fit in memory.
