Thanks!

@ Phool, Ofcourse your right it took 22 hours! Well I am not that smart with computers so google gave me an answer that I couldn't perform with smrtdrv. Ofcourse the program should speed things up but it also needs some config.sys and autoexec.bat and himem stuff I don't understand. I'm from the tin...

Through this forum a HD has reached my 600E and is functioning without any problems at all. In The Netherlands it is very hard to get a HD that fits an IBM machine. SATA can be ordered, PATA is extremely hard to find. I also bought a 120G at a computermarket when I passed. I couldn't hold the feelin...

Hi I retried the whole situation, 2 partitions made by fdisk on the target machine. Copied the i386 content, even added a few extra files in the hope that they were the eula files .... Machine responded in the same way. I also tried to run smrtdrv.exe but that program doesn't start without some hime...

HMMM, Still the same results. My method until now: Made on a HD first partition 5500mb and the second 640MB. First is C: second D:. Set the active partition to c: Formattted c: with /s/v and the d: with /v Copied from an XP Installation CD ONLY the I386 to the d: Put the HD into the machine and boot...

Hi I tried the floppy method, nosucces, it hangs on the last floppy. I also tried the copy i386 folder. Now it shows in the screen, cannot find the EULA ....? As I mentioned above the USB is out of order, the PMCIA-usb cannot be recognised because of the not working floppy method. What to do? Oh, as...

I honestly don't think that you're going to like the speed of XP on a 240 with 300 processor, but go ahead if that's what you've got your heart set on...anything above W2K on these babies is a complete overkill in my opinion, and I've tried it more than once... Good luck. One of them has XP and it ...

Thanks for your reply.

It will be executed in a few days. Your point of the hD being to small is shared. I will use a bigger one. The problem with thatone is that it has no OS installed. Can I still use the USB method? Memory was alraedy updated.

Hi, It is hard to find a thread about XP install on a 240. I read it once but can't find it anymore. How can I install XP pro? My 240's are not equipped with CD (none) but one of the machines has already XP installed. I would like to do the same with the other. What do I have to solve this issue? On...

All your answers are stuffed in one solution. To be continued.

For a week I will be silent, I am on holidays in France. After that the transition will be published!

I see ..... , little disappointed but it's not the end of the world, is it?
So now I'm up for a new struglle, to be continued ...

That is a quick response! OK I have a PATA drive. Is it possible to install a SATA? I don't know really the difference (serial / parallel) and that's it. The most HD I see on the internet are SATA and therefore the most cheapest solution. And yes, the drive is OLD. Very old but still running and a l...

Just a few weeks further in exploring the wonders of a 600E I found out that my HD is partitioned in two (2,5 and 3,5G). That's hard to usewith XP installed. So I would like to install a 5400rpm HD. Here's the question: Is the Travelstar a PATA / SATA / EIDE or IDE 2,5 inch HD? There are several 2,5...

Some time ago I read a thread about installing XP on a 240. One of my machines does hove it the other should have it also. However I'm not able to find that thread again. It is a simple 240 (2609) 300mhz and 6G of HD with 128mb (+64). Offcourse there's no cd and I only have the external diskdrive. F...

Thanks for your information. I dowloaded the pdf and in the coming weekend the stuff will be read.

Thanks for the answer and link. At this moment the 600E wouldn't give me access to the bios. It does not respond to the F1. I have been inside the bios so i have hope to enter it soon. It is a 4BG, not knowing if its good or bad .... I will take the advice and search the above mentioned links to fin...

Hello, I think i have a combination 600E. The top parts are different from the bottemparts. How can I tell what sort of 600E I have? It is a 2645 and then nothing. Standard 32 Mb, 6 Gig HD, CD and that's it. In the BIOS is more information, but all the numbers I tried on Google resulted in nothing. ...
