Need help to helpI get this : "Windows Setup reqiures 7340"...
I'm trying to install Win98 on a 1999 Sony Vaio laptop, model PCG-430,
with
a new blank Hard Drive.
I went to the E: drive (which is the temporary location of the CD-Drive)
and
typed in "setup".
This appeared on the screen:
"Please wait while setup initializes.
Scanning systen registry...
Windows Setup requires 7340"

What does that mean?



snip

the drive needs to be formatted.

best to run fdisk

if it shows one active partition

then just issue the command format C:

(from the a: prompt)


Otherwise, run fdisk, delete all that's there
and create one active primary partition

then reboot and format the drive


now Windows should install normally
