Hi,

Questions: will the older 6x install as a cd-rom by itself?  It will take
only a minute to find out.  Where did it come from?  A known working
system?  Something pickeup up at flea market?

My test for a cd-rom, is to put the windows 98 cd in the drive and boot
with the
setup floppy that came with it.  I have a machine that I use for testing
and know everything in it is good. If the Install program starts the drive
should be good. If it doesn't then I just put it in the "Bad" pile.

You may simply have a compatability problem with it do to it's age. It
might not
fit the ATAPI standard that is used today.  Everything does not always play
well together.


God Bless America!
