I had trouble installing W98 on a system and this is the resolve: 1. If you have not installed W98 in a while, remember that when it reboots, remove your cd briefly but replace it in the cdrom before windows starts loading. W98 needs to recognize the location of the files it will start immediately loading when it comes up from the first reboot. This plaged me until I figured out what was happening with missing drivers/files. 2. Make sure your cdrom/cdrw is reading properly. I had a LiteON that was faulty and causing errors when the hdd accessed files. It is best to install using a cdrom. 3. If you intend to dual boot with W2k (recommended highly), Install W98 first using 3gb. Then make another 3gb logical partition for w2k. then create another logical partition with the balance space for your stuff. Install all major applications that you will always use on each install (word processor, Acrobat reader, Spreadsheet, cdrw software) onto the root partition of the o/s. When that is done, make a system backup cd using NGhost 6.5 or Drive Image 4.0 or some cloning software to burn to your cdrw. Also do this after updating the latest SPxx for explorer and Windows. If any passwords are used, be sure to write them on the cd and date it. Where will you be in 100 years? If you don't know, I can tell you. (and its not the grave). Write me. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp The NOSPIN Group is now offering Free PC Tech support at our newest website: http://freepctech.com
