Hi carlo, it's not possible

The way FAT32 used to work, was DOS was required to boot Windows (95, 98, ME) and with 2000, XP and Vista, there is no DOS except the small black window known as the command prompt.

How come you need to delete these files in DOS?

my friend's laptop windows xp can't boot up because xp got something wrong with it. I tried to clean nstall xp but it won't let me to do it because i havennt got no enough room
I have to make some space on hd [40gig]


I can't boot up and install xp
I want to save all documents

thank you
carlo

Hmmmm.
Try doing a repair install, get the data off there (over the network, or through a USB hard drive) and then do a complete clean install.

If that doesn't work, if you're comfortable, take the laptop hard drive out and plug it into your computer (you can get adapters for this sort of thing). Backup the files that way.

i tried that a repair but it won't a repair

I got msn . I added u in my listlisted

I'm at work right now and they asked us to not use MSN.

We'll have to keep it in here unfortunately.

You'll have to remove the hard drive and copy the data that way.
