Does your startup disk ask if you want to start computer with CD-rom support
before going to a:\? If it does, enter the choice number (usually #2) and
let computer do its thing. Notice where you CD-rom is. At the A:\ enter the
location of the cd-rom . Then x:\setup and you are off.

Subject: [PCBUILD] help with a new hard drive


> I have two hard drives in my old computer and both of them have been
formatted and have nothing on them. How do i go about installing an
operating system on the primary master drive? I made a start up disk prior
to reformatting them and now it seems to not be working (or i am clueless).
I have the Win98 SE cd in the cd-rom and the S/U disk in and it says it is
preparing to start then stops at a dos prompt that only says  A:\>      Now
what do i need to do? Thanks!!
