I played around in my old computer's bios and now apparently Windows ME doesn't boot anymore go me

@noiob did you switch from... I forget what is called, standard or compatibility mode, to acpi or vice versa? that makes most any Windows cranky, switching back can placate it

@Mycroft uh I think I had it mostly on fail-safe defaults before, and those don't work anymore. I'll look into it

@Mycroft uh, I don't think I can turn off ACPI at all?

Follow

@noiob ah, I just remember that being a setting in older pcs that would cause Windows not to boot if it was set to something other than the setting Windows was installed under

good luck
