setup Windows 98se
I have 2 hard drives and I performed a drive to drive copy
and I wanted to reformat one of my hard drives and start all over. But after i reformatted my c drive i tried to reinstall windows 98se. I was able to get the installation going but after it installs and gets the point where i have to restart the computer the computer restarts but then i get a message saying "insuffcient memory" in dos and setup cannot continue i keep formatting the hard drive and trying to run setup again but i keep getting the same message. All the other times i installed it it would run fine but for some reason it just doesnt go. I looked up on windows homepage but the information they gave me doesnt work. Im all out of ideas and wondering if someone can help all im trying to do is install windows so i can get my computer up and running any help will be much apreciated. thanks |

setup Windows 98se
SETUP.TXT is the best source for information about installation problems.
Make sure you have disabled BIOS boot sector protection, and remove unnecesary hardware before trying again. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];232018 Windows 98 Second Edition Setup.txt File How much RAM is installed in this machine? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "David" wrote in message ...
