When I try to shut down and select the dos prompt selection the third one
in the
list of things, it just goes to the blinking curser that I described.
Thanks

>I don't understand your question.  You've already installed Win 98 SE, but
you are unable to get a DOS prompt during the boot up of Windows?  Or it
freezes after the Win 98 logo screen with a blinking cursor on a dark
screen?  You would not get a DOS prompt during the boot if Windows is
properly installed, but if it freezes up after the logo and does not
continue to load Windows, you need to reformat and try again.  Please
provide more details about what you are looking for, at what stage of the
boot, and at what stage you are seeing the blinking cursor.
