No CD, No bootdisk. Just as is. booted it up and this is what I got.<br/>Got the HP screen, the win 98 screen and jump into DOS (C:\WINDOWS) and thats it. I can start it in safe mode, cleaned out all the unneccessary stuff, old prgrams and such. But I can't make a bootdisk in safe mode. I do have a win 98 CD from an old HP Pavillion I had before. I did install it. Still the same results (jumps back into DOS). <br/>checked Bios , they look OK. When I goto the sites for bootdisk I not sure which one to use. I don't what to format without all my safety <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/nets-1114040" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NETS">NETS</a>.
