[quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] first u need to determine wether ur 98 CD is bootable, if uv gotta Windows 98 Boot disk then use that *GOTO SECTION 2 IF U HAVE A bOOT DISK* . If u havent gotta 98 boot disk then go into the BIOS, (press DEL, F2, or F1) wen u first turn the computer on, look thru ur bios until u find the order which the PC looks to boot from, this will look summit like First Boot Device: Floppy 3.5" Second Boot Device: HDD-0 Third Boot Device: CD-ROM You need to set the First Boot device to CD-ROM there shuld be some kind of instructions on changing each one sumwhere in your bios. Once CD ROM is set to First, then switch off ur machine, insert the 98 CD ROM first. Boot back up with the 98 CD ROM. It will ask u to press any key to Boot from CD. Hit any key Section 1: A blue screen will come up. It will load some files be patient. I cant remember off hand the exact order it goes in but basically u need to delete the primary partition it will be in the list. Then recreate the partition, it will be self explanatory when ur there. Hit enter on the partition to format it in Fat 32. it will go away and format it. Then it will give you the option to install windows on that partition. Proceed to install windows and all shuld be good. Section 2: Using the boot disk. Boot the machine up with the floppy in the drive. The machine will load a few CD ROM drivers and u will eventually be presented with a dos prompt will look like A:\>. Type in fdisk hit enter. Press the number to delete active partition. Once deleted at the main menu hit the number to create a partition. Once created reboot the machine with the Floppy in the drive. you will get A:\> agen. Type Format c: and hit enter. It will format the hard disk. Once its done restart the machine yet agen with the floppy in the drive. type d: and it shuld switch to D:\>. Insert the windows 98 CD and type in setup and hit enter. Read from Section 1 to install windows.. [Edited on 16-02-2003 by Steve106GTi] [/quote]
