Or, run the mem test one stick at a time.

Is there anyway you could try that drive with maybe DOS or WIN98?

Gordon: What formatting command did you use when attempting to do your 720K's?

Every one will agree that they had a nice run.

SP2 is a must for XP to be effective.

You are correct and I'm a subject of my own feeble research methods and apologize to all. What I meant to indicated was that W2K was an extension of NT and therefore not completely new technology.

You had better do some research on that one.

So was NT 4. Ran it for years on a server and desktop at work, as well as my government issued laptop. What hasten the departure from NT to XP was no or very limited USB support. The only USB device I ever encountered on NT4 was for a mouse from some hardware vendor .

Yes, but you're comparing a DOS based OS to a ground up Windows system. W7 is exceptionally stable and that's why I preserved and upgraded my W7 gamer to run with a Ryzen CPU. My W7 gamer can run CyberPunk 77 very nicely. Note: For the nit pickers, the GOG version of CP77 was backported to DX11...

Take some time to learn how to setup and use W11 properly. I can speak with some authority as I have...

It seems fashionable here to bash W11. W11 is a modern OS and is designed to be used on modern equipment. When you attempt run W11 on one of your old dogs, it like bolting a 6-speed auto trans out of a Corvette to a Model A with a 4 cylinder flat head.
