- If you switched to the new machine by just copying your software files
- then you don't have the parts of Windows which are necessary for enchanted
- mode operation. To conserve scarce disk space on the user's system the
- Windows installer does not load the parts of Windows which require a
- 386 if the hardware has only a 286.
-
- The safest thing to do is to re-install Windows from scratch.
