Solve : Setup command?

Answer»

I have a p-3 computer which "was" running Windows 98. I decided to reformat the hard drive and reinstall 98. However, I cannot find my Getting Started with Windows 98 book so I do not have the numeric key to open 98.

I have a new COPY of windows xp professional I can load, but I cannot get past the BOOTUP of w-98. I know there is a technique to get to dos which would allow me to get to my CD-rom and I can run setup on the xp-pro.

Someone please help!

THANKS, ronRonald:

Man! i wish you would have asked us before you formatted your hard drive. Someone would have explained how to use REGEDIT to search the registry for the product ID number.

You may still install Windows XP by changing the BIOS settings to first boot to your CD-ROM drive. Then just pop in the Windows XP installation CD & you're in business!

Let me know if you need any further assistance.
DocIs it straight Win.98 or Win.98se
