Did I say anything about not being able to get back into XP? NO. I'm not an idiot. I unplugged my XP
harddrive before installing ME so none of the boot sectors got trashed.

You are an idiot if you unplugged your HDD instead of just disabling it in
the BIOS.

Look, does anyone know the answer to my question or not? I'm basically trying to copy the XP kernel to my ME
drive since ME can't access the NTFS drive. It's a simple question. What are the fundamental files besides
ntoskrnl.exe and hal.dll that the xp kernel needs?

Why post here? I'd try a microsoft.* newsgroup if I were you.

Kaidaitcha Man is an Olog-Hai, I see. You should be ashamed of
yourself for making fun of someone who, while posting off topic about
stuff most of us don't know about, isn't being rude or inaccurate.

Very clever. Let us know what the results are after you
succeed. :-)

Go to www.sysinternals.com and download the NTFS driver for 95/98/Me.

You're posting into the wrong newsgroup...

try the one next door called alt.os.windows-xp....
but then again, some clown by the name of GeneralPF has deliberately
messed with the follow-up setting hoping that you're too clueless to
notice it...

I probably hit (F)ollow-up to COLA, but I didn't do so "maliciously".

Come now, it can be a little tricky figuring uot how to respond to the
text "Crossposting. Followup-To this group, Post to this group only,
Ignore, Cancel?", don't you agree?

Perhaps some more manuals are required for the newbie slrn user.

When you replied to "Al" SLRN asked you if you wanted to set followups
to cola, which you did. It's possible you have SLRN configured to
automatically change that, but that's unlikely if you also don't know
aobut the followup setting.
