Windows 98 Install with floppy drive or disk
Hi Everyone
In order to play a couple of games and run a few programs that will only run on Windows 98, I am trying to re-install it on a disused PC which was running XP. I have gone through all the normal Fdisk and partitions pages. I restart it and go through the windows install pages. So I select "Start Windows 98 from CD Rom" Click Enter to setup Windows After a couple more screens I get to the Windows 98 Setup page and click continue I get the "Setup is preparing to install windows" message after which it asks me where I want it installed (All so far so good). So having selected c:\Windows.000 from the options I click next Now it checks for "Installed Componants" and moves onto "Checking available disc space" Here's the problem - the disc space checks get as far as 61% at which point if flashes up a message saying "Insert diskette for Drive B: and press any key when ready". Now not only do I not have a start diskette, I also don't have a floppy drive to insert it in on this machine. Any thoughts? |
