I've been trying to INSTALL windows 98 on my father in-laws computer which is a intel-700MHz processor but for some reason it will not BOOT from the dvd and so i formatted it with ms-dos 6.0 but now the ms-dos does not detect my dvd rom i have also tried to change the auto.bat file and the config.sys file but nothing seems to work. So i formatted it again and tried to install windows xp but now it won't boot the cd.You need to change the boot order in bios so the cd / dvd drive is the first boot device.I tried that and it still dos'nt work the problem is that the computer had windows xp on it and it kept and freezing up so I throught that it WOULD run better with windows 98 so I tried to install it but the windows xp sent a message that i had to install the windows 98 through ms-dos but the problem is windows xp dos'nt have dos so i restarted the computer with a setup disk from ms-dos 6.0 everything got formatted and i put the cd in from windows 98 but dos would not recognize the d: so i know with dos you need a driver for the cd/dvd drive but i don't have a driver on the floppy disk so I throught i would put the windows xp back in the computer but now it dos'nt boot any more from the cd/dvd drive and i changed the boot sequence in bios I am kinda stuck now do you have any ideas.
