Answer» The systems does recognize the drive. Is your CD a regular windows installation disk, a manufacturer's recovery disk, or a windows upgrade disk?the c.d is regular windows installation c.d.I had a version of win98 once where the setup files were in a subfolder within the CD ROM. I can't remember the name of the folder, possibly e:\win98\setup. If you type dir in the E directory there maybe another option.The W98 CD has setup.exe in the root directory. In the win98 folder is another option named oemsetup.exe. One of them should work.So we've establishedyou get to e:\ So we've establishedyou get to e:\ He's already tried thatmany thanks to all that tried to help but the PROB was my cd, tried it on another computer and would not work. have got hold of a new 98SE and all is now well. many thanks to all.Can you get a directory display from the CD when you TRY: dir e: If not, you may have a dirty CDROM drive, try a cleaning disk. Check the other drives as well. The D: is a RAM drive (2 meg) set up by Win98SE BOOT floppy for utilities and will show several DOS utilities. C: is your hard drive partition, I don't know whether you have put any files on it yet or not. A: is your floppy and B: is a PLACEHOLDER for a second floppy or cartridge drive. If you get normal directory displays from these but errors from the CDROM, you may have a defective or dirty CDROM drive or CD. Cleaning it will fix that. Try putting a different CD in the drive and see if the directory shows up at dir e: in DOS. |
