Hi,

It sounds like the  win 98 shutdown problem to me but I could be wrong.

Try disableing "fast shutdown".

I still have no idea what you're talking about.  I cannot, for the life of
me, recall any screen during shutdown on which you'd get a DOS prompt once
Windows is installed.  Are you talking about during fdisking/formatting? Is
Windows installed as you said in your first posting?  Is it stalling at some
point while you're running on the startup disk?  Exactly where in the
process is this occurring?  Wait, are you talking about you click on
start/shutdown and then you choose "start up in DOS"?
