installing 98se
Try a new boot disk that doesn't use as much conventional memory - get a
utility to create one at www.bootdisk.com. The amount of RAM you have is not relevant to this problem. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Owen" wrote in message ...

To create the diskette get one from www.bootdisk.com as Jeff suggested. Double click the download. Or do this: Run the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the Win98 CD in the Tools/Mtsutil/Fat32ebd directory. Do this from any Windows machine. Boot with the diskette, change to your CDrom drive letter and enter Setup. If Setup tries to install into a Windows.000 folder or something similar put your cursor in the little block and change it to C:\windows. The diskette from www.bootdisk.com may create a Ram Drive so your CDrom drive letter will be one letter higher than normal. e.g. D: to E: Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.epix.net/~bwatt/ |
