Install 98 on laptop
"Piedmont" wrote in message ...
I have a laptop with no OS on it and need to know how to install 98 on it, there is no floppy drive just a CD drive and I do have a 98 disk. Go into the BIOS setup, find "Boot Sequence" and make sure it is set to "CD, C:". If it isn't, change it and save the new settings. Then insert the Windows 98 CD and restart the computer. If this doesn't help, please repost with more information, including the manufacturer and model of the laptop. Ben |

UpDate - Install 98 on laptop
Got it installed, I think the problem was the partition needed activated.
I'd never heard of having to activate a partition but after I did it, I was able to install 98. I downloaded several handy CDs, Ultimate Boot CD and a boot 98se CD. Alas I think that the laptop is too new as the other poster said that 98 won't have all the drivers, plus the old problem that I always seemed to run into was during install, about 20 files were missing and I ain't tracking em all down plus the 6-8 drivers to operate all the little things. It was fun but I think now I'll spot the $25 for a restore cd from emachine and put xp back on. Thanks to all. Piedmont "Piedmont" wrote in message ...
