E is the letter of my CD drive where the windows 98 cd is located. The setup will not run but insted the computer says that windows is reuqired. Well that is what I am trying to install. Please help! Thank you!Have you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/tired-661145" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TIRED">TIRED</a> the start up disk? It is a floppy that loads your computer into dos mode..<br/><a href="http://www.bootdisk.com">www.bootdisk.com</a><br/><br/><br/>Or if you did that and Windows wont install try<br/>Enter System Setup and look for Boot Sequence <br/>the regular default should be A, C, SCSI <_ Change it so it becomes CDROM, A, C,<br/><br/>If not then re <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/erase-452687" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ERASE">ERASE</a> the hard drive and partion it.<br/><a href="http://www.killdisk.com">www.killdisk.com</a>I had already done the start up disk but made a new one using that website <a href="http://www.bootdisk.com">www.bootdisk.com</a> to be sure. my boot sequence was also in the correct order. I ran the program from <a href="http://www.killdisk.com">www.killdisk.com</a> and I am still at the same place. My computer boots up to the A: prompt with the boot disk but when I try to install windows 98 from the CD I get nowhere. If I try to run the cd from the E: drive (what my cd drive is named) I get the error 'this program requires microsoft windows'. I get this error regardless if i use the setup or setup.exe command at the E: prompt. If I copy the contents of the CD to the C: drive into a win98 directory I created and try to install from the c:\win98 prompt and regardless if I use the setup or setup.exe command nothing happens. I just get another c:\win98 prompt. but no install. Any other ideas?<br/><br/>Thanks again!Do you have a full genuine win98 install disk?<br/>Are you sure about E:?I would not mess around with boot <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/floppies-7303546" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FLOPPIES">FLOPPIES</a>.....i would go into the bios and change the boot sequence......to boot from cdrom drive.......what is the make of this pc?It is a full win98 CD as well as I am sure that it is E: as my CD drive because if I do the DIR command at the E: prompt I get a list of the contents of the CD.<br/><br/>In addition, the boot sequence is set to CD as the first to boot but the machine does not boot to the WIN98 CD for some reason.<br/><br/>Any more ideas? Thanks again!<br/>Don't go to the E: prompt. At the A: prompt enter E:\setup<br/><br/>Don't know if it will help.</p></body></html> | |
