can't install win98se

I agree with you Jake it,s all new and
has ro work!!!
I would find a working machine and use my
disk to make a start up floppy, then make
sure it booted that machine, the go home
and try it. Never sis mention the Hd or what
has been done to it to set it up, did add
512 Mg Ram ??? 256 should load and run
basic Win98-SE with no problem.
Return it all to the vender and try again.

Okies, if all is brandnew it should work!
Turn it in with the vendor and claim another one.
Good luck!

I did try the boot disk at bootdisk.com and I keep
getting an error message whenever I try to use it. My
computer won't recognize it. There is nothing wrong
with
my hard drive. It's brand new. My motherboard is also
brand new.

If you selected a bootdisk at bootdisk.com,
that matches your system, the you would be able to
boot
to dos.
If you cant do that there is something with your
hardware.

As I have stated many times in attempts to get help, I
can't install win98se on a new hard drive. I keep
getting the following message: "The windows 98 startup
disk could not create a temporary drive for the

less than the minimum required extended memory.
Path not found - :\COMMAND.COM
Path not found - :\EXTRACT.EXE
Path not found - :\README.TXT
Bad command or file name

I tried to create a new startup disk using the win98se cd
but this computer I'm using has xp and it wouldn't let me
browse the win98 cd.
I need help.

For a new Win98 Startup diskette with CDrom support:
Run the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the Win98 CD in the
Tools/Mtsutil/Fat32ebd directory.

This should work on any Windows machine and it does not create a Ram
Drive. It should create the diskette directly and not get involved
with the XP system. Use it to boot the Win9x machine only.
This diskette does not include the Extract utility or several Dos
utilities but it's good for installing Windows.

Sounds like you need a good win98se boot disk. Run Fdisk
first after format c: /s command. Make boot disk from pc
running win98 not CD. Gud luck
