  2. Assuming you haven't deleted it, your machine has a recovery partition which will restore it to factory settings after formatting the main partition. Try pressing F9 at boot to get to the restore system.

    Oh I get it, sorry about that but that is a question you need to ask to the administrator(s) of one specific SquirrelMail service you want to join. There is no one but manny SquirrelMail based services already running (usually free) and is not possible for me to give you specific setup names and numbers. The administrators of one specific internet service will tell you all the settings with the specific SquirrelMail setup they support on their system.

    SquirrelMail is just one free software to run a webmail but is not a service running on its own.

    There is the server side configuration if you want to start your own server with SquirrelMail (that is not your question). There is also the free client software you could use as your webmail with your computer and there are just the settings from a service already running for you to configure your email software on a specific device. Some colleges use this software on their servers and they set the parameters you need, smtp, server name, server port, etc. Some payed internet service providers also use this software as their webmail service but they are the ones you need to ask if you want to use their service.

    I hope I provided you with some useful information 🙂

    Make sure you install to the partition/drive not containing DOS.

    When the XP setup is complete, it should give you a boot menu that will allow you to choose between Windows XP and DOS.

  5. Is this a Compaq by any chance? There can be many causes of a Parity 2 error (basically it's faulty RAM or a faulty expansion card). Google the phrase "parity check 2" and see if any of the multitude of suggestions that you will find are relevant.

  6. Seems like it is not seeing a hard drive in bios. Boot to bios. Just for grins. Try this. Power down and remove ac plug. Press power button a few times and then go to bios. Some rare times this works.

    might work, can’t test Vista, works on ME.
