Hi. Once again, I have posted a message about a problem which is even bigger than the other one that I had.
My other problem(which I wrote on the same day) was the one with the _ sign around the middle of the screen when computer reboots. Well what I did was run MSCONFIG, and disabled all start ups. That was a success but, sometimes it happens again whenever I download or install softwares. Now the bigger problem. When I was disabling the start-ups the third time, I rebooted and the computer screen showed up like this.
Boot Failure. System Halted.
Any suggestions? (By the way, thanks WaWaDave for your reply on my other message.)

Boot the computer with the Win ME boot disk and type sys c: (press enter) You should have transferred the system files succesfully to the hard drive.The sys command used with Windows ME can transfer system files as long as there is a Windows ME installation present on the hard drive.If this fails a full re-insatall using the boot disk and CD will be done.Good luck.
