Max Payne Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Have anyone tried to install Longhorn as a standalone os, without having the dualboot menu with the previous operating system to choose from?... There's this 'createstandaloneinstall.bat' file inside the 4008 release which I attached here, but it's not working... =) createstandaloneinstall.bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlerner Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 It won't work, Longhorn at least at this point will only support upgrading from a longhorn build or a clean install to another partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Payne Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 That's the thing Michael... it doesn't even work on clean install when you boot from the cd. All it does is tell you to restart and then you end up with an empty partition just like you created it for longhorn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install from harddisk. Copy all files to harddisk and run the install from there. It willl clean install. But I have done it from CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
