Solve : Win 98 fresh Install cant run in DOS mode?

Answer» <html><body><p>"This program cannot run in DOS mode" I get this when I type SETUP to install win98.. Help!!!!!!!! I think maybe the setup.exe you are using is for running from within Windows, which is why you are getting the error message that it can't be run from DOS.<br/><br/>You could try the setup.exe in the \win98\ folder.<br/><br/>I completly formatted my hard drive and ran the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/boot-251147" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BOOT">BOOT</a> disk and put windows starts here cd in and when I type SETUP at the e: it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/gives-763601" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GIVES">GIVES</a> me that error.See my above post.<br/>Quote from: TRACE1350 on August <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/05-256274" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 05">05</a>, 2009, 04:02:14 PM</p><blockquote>I completly formatted my hard drive and ran the boot disk and put windows starts here cd in and when I type SETUP at the e: it gives me that error.<br/></blockquote><br/>I'm assuming that drive D: is a secondary hard drive / partition. You could still try typing 'D:SETUP'. Or you could try setting your CMOS to allow booting from the CD-ROM, and only have the CD inserted on boot. I think the Windows CD has boot disc capability.try install not setupThe drive is not formatted properly then...<br/>Provide more info on the history of this machine what steps you have taken so far and info on the hardware involved...Nobody took any notice of my post.<br/>Quote from: Salmon Trout on August 25, 2009, 03:19:49 PM<blockquote>Nobody took any notice of my post.<br/><br/></blockquote><br/>They had re-formatted their drive.

Trust me, I accidentially re-installed Windows once, and recently (yesterday) installed it again.Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 25, 2009, 03:42:01 PM<blockquote>he means on the Windows disc <br/></blockquote><br/>Oh. Well, I don't know it's directory structure. I have an OEM install with a C:\WINDOWS\Options\CABs folder.</body></html>
