After doing a complete format of my hard drive in preparation for a clean win98 install I started the machine with the win98 start-up disc and, the win98 cd in their proper places. After the boot disk is read, I selected boot with cd-rom support as I have done many times in the past. I get the message"cdr101 file not found,not ready reading on drive D:". I checked the bios set-up and it tells me that I indeed do have a cd-rom installed. I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what has gone wrong with a system that was working properly before I formatted.  When I tried to format again it gave me "bad command or file name.  Anybody out there that can help me?  Thanks   Ed Bogert
