Title: I CAN'T CHANGE COMPUER NAME
Post by: yonee on July 14, 2009, 12:02:02 PM

         I have windows XP professional sp2; recently I made a partition using EASEUS partition software and it's ok and I changed the name then restarted. After that window says Disk Error and asked me to put windows XP CD, I put the CD and I thought that to repair the window but continue installation then I stopped it. Restarted the PC, and gave me 2 windows and F8 option. I pressed F8 and the two windows appeared and I selected my original window then pressed inter. And then selected Last Known Good Configuration and press inter and repaired my window. And I  opened the window and  copied the i386 from the CD to my program files. And I changed the name then restarted and asked me the same thing. I did the same process. And now, when I saw the computer name, still not changed.
                       Right now, my question is
1. Why I can't change Computer name?
 2. How can I delete the new window that I stopped recently?

                               Please guys help me

                                      Thanks

I suspect you now have Windows installed twice...
To check this open Windows Explorer and see what it lists for the WinNT folder...
