Solve : re-installing windows 98 se?

Answer»

I NEED to re-install windows 98 se.The cd is legit
and I have no intention of putting it on any other computer.Windows says that this cd is for the first boot
only,but I need it to get my computer going again.My
backup disk doesn`t work.I get as far as procuct key
and then it wont go any farther.tks.Did you reformat or is this a "dirty" install? Try booting to DOS and change to the c:\windows\command directory. At the PROMPT enter the this command:  FIND.EXE/I "ProductKey" %winbootdir%\SYSTEM.DATBlue410:

Do you have the product key?  It may be on a label affixed to the side of the computer case.

So what happens when you PUT in your legal product key and press enter?

Inquiring minds want to know...

patio .Looks like blue_410 has turned yellow and gone 404!

I got this PM from the poster:

"  When I enter the legal product key,they tell
me that it is invalid.MS says that I should call a phone
number which is not even in service.I am trying to
convince them that I just want to get my computer
running and not rip them off.tks. "



I think the issue is the legit product key, n'est pas? Regardless, to the Sin Bin for this one. LOCK the cage.
