SU0013 Error with format and install of Windows 98 SE on PC
I have just about come to the end of my tether. The older PC decided not to
work and I thought well maybe it was timely to reformat and reinstall Win98. It is always a big job but this time I have got to this error I havent had before. I have done alot of reading. I understand the difference between Upgrade and New Installation. I have the CD that I got with the PC. An original MS WIN98 to use with no windows on machine. I have a start up disk from previous formats and I get started but I can't get past the partitioning thing. I have d/l instructions and have followed them to the letter. DISK MB FREE USAGE Disk 1 19093 19093 Disk 2 6150 100% C: 6150 This is how it looks pretty much. I haven't been able to use disk 1 to partition it, there is no space, no partition to delete, im really not sure what to do. I have burnt a cd from information online. To see if i can start with them instead of my floppy. But any help would be appreciated. Thank you Meredith |

SU0013 Error with format and install of Windows 98 SE on PC
Start the computer with the startup floppy, type "fdisk", press "Enter",
accept "Large disk support", then use option 1 to create a primary DOS partition on disk 1. When this is done, boot with the floppy again, insert your Windows 98 CD, type "setup" and press "Enter".

Correction.
Start the computer with the startup floppy, type "fdisk", press "Enter", accept "Large disk support", then use option 1 to create a primary DOS partition on disk 1. When this is done, boot with the floppy again, type "fdisk /status:", press "Enter" and confirm that disk 1 is now assigned drive letter "C:". If so, type "format c:", press "Enter" and format the partition. Then insert your Windows 98 CD, type "setup" and press "Enter". Ben "Meredith" wrote in message ...

SU0013 Error with format and install of Windows 98 SE on PC
Dear Ben,
Thanks for responding. But your advice doesn't apply here as I cannot get the Disk1 to do anything. When I get the fdisk to take me to create primary DOS partition is is defaulting to Disk2. I choose option 5 to get it to work on Disk1, but after many moments of activity but zero action % view. I get the msg, no space to create partition, I exit and try to delete, can't partition, can't delete, partition cant be defined. It's the same story as before. I do know how to format or so I thought. I have had conflicting advice about format c: or format c: /s... but in any case it seems I have a Disk2 with 6000 odd MB and Disk1 with 19093 and unavailable. I downloaded a boot disk and other programs like Zap to try to clear hard drives. I burned them to CD as the new PC doesn't have a floppy drive. I have tried to change BIOS settings so that the CDROM will read first. The original problem came from the system not starting and the msg back then was about the VMI verify and replace disk and enter. So I thought well can't get away from a reformat and install on win98se. The garbage tip is looking good. Ron suggested we take the hard drive from it and try it with a PC that works. I have an old PC we don't use anymore and well I have the HD out of it ready to have a go at connecting the HD from the tricky one. I have to know about jumper switches and I will need a Data Recovery program to try to get back what we lost. Think that is a lost cause now cos I used Zap63.com earlier today. All help gratefull accepted. *S* Thanks Meredith "Ben Myers" wrote: Correction.

SU0013 Error with format and install of Windows 98 SE on PC
Sorry, I'm new here and I don't see all the posts. It's not a virus boot
protection that prevents everything? I would un hook and uninstall disk two and see what Fdisk has to say about disk one then. Maxtor has some amazing utilities that saved many a disk for me.
