Need help to help "Windows Setup requires 7340"
"dlsayremn" wrote in message ...
Thanks for your suggestions. Will relay them. This is his first followup post. This "7340" message appears when I turn the laptop on and I can't get to any prompt, no matter what keys I push!! Grrr... (I have the startup/boot floppy for Win98 in the drive also, but the drive doesn't engage.) This happened after I did the format and typed in "setup". I forgot to enter "sys c:" So his floppy drive isn't working and he can't get into bios.. Tell the user to try pressing F2 or F3 during bootup for BIOS setup. Also, he might try tapping F8 to see if a menu with "Safe Mode Command Prompt" appears. Ben |

Ben, thanks for reply.
OP says it goes straight to the 'Windows Setup needs.." message as soon as he powers up no matter what key he hits. Says has tried all F keys , Ctrl, and Esc.

One possibility is that the computer is coming out of hibernation mode and displaying the last screen. I suggest you tell the user to wait for the error message, then press Ctrl-Alt-Del or just restart and try the F2 or F3 key. Ben |

He got it to work. Removed a hd. Didn't specify if was old or new one. On powerup, with floppy in A was able to get C:\ prompt and finish |
