I have new computer and I can't install Win98SE

I have pretty new computer and I couldn't install Windows 98SE. I have Asus
P4C800-E, P4 3.00 HT, and 80 GB S-ATA. How can I install Win98SE onto this
computer, I was trying setupcor's comand. Please help me!

What exactly is the procedure you are using and what exactly is the problem
that you run into?

When I am putting the windows into a cd-rom, the startup is running normaly.
The procces of preparing the instalation is correctly. After that it suppose
to takes me to install screen, but it is nothing happened. It's only black
screen. I would wait ever, and ever, and it isn't going to do anything. What
is the cause? The command 'FDISK' is not working too. I had to format the
hard drive under a windows XP.

You haven't described the procedure you are using, but I suspect the problem
is the formatting. FDISK is for creating partitions, not formatting.
However, if you created the partitions under XP then you may have created
NTFS partitions, and Windows won't see them. I would recommend starting
with a boot floppy rather than the CD. Get a utility to make one at
www.bootdisk.com. Then use FDISK to remove any existing partitions and
create new ones. If FDISK won't work, you need to fix that problem before
proceeding (you will also need to describe exactly what the error is). Then
format the partition, and try the installation again.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

To install Windows 98SE in addition to Windows XP?

or

To install Windows 98SE as a replacement for Windows XP?


If you install Windows 98 SE on the new machine you are quite likely
going to render the warranty null and void, so that may be a
consideration.

You have a 3.0 ghz hyperthreading CPU and I am pretty sure that
Windows 98 SE will not make any use whatever of the hyperthreading
capabilities so that portion, at least, of your purchase cost is
wasted with respect to Windows 98SE. And it may well be that your
hardware components (motherboard chipset etc.) are not supported in
Windows 98 SE so you may end up using generic drivers etc. for at
least some items resulting in further reductions in performance.

Good luck

When I try to make a partition by Fdisk, it shows me bad size of hard drive,
(only about 10GB). I tried once to make partition of 10 GB. I made it, but
later when I put Win 98SE, He didn't want format that partition, and that for
every time when I tried do this. I've made two types of partition: NTFS and
FAT(both under WinXP).
You wrote I should fix the problem of fdisk, so how can I do it, is it going
to work??

If this hard disk is larger than 64Gb, make sure you have the latest version
of FDISK. For instance, if the drive is 80Gb, then FDISK will report about
10Gb free space.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q263044
Fdisk Does Not Recognize Full Size of Hard Disks Larger than 64 GB

If you are already using the latest version, or if the disk is smaller than
64Gb, then goto
http://www.digitalissues.co.uk/html/...-wipe-zap.html
and download and run ZAP or WIPE. These utilities remove all existing
partitioning, giving FDISK a clean disk, and removing the false reporting of
available disk space you are currently getting.
