bios settings or settings
Watch the screen for which key to press to enter setup (the BIOS) and click
it. Look for a Boot Section or a setting called Boot Device. You will want to make the floppy disk drive the first boot device and then save the setting and exit. Reboot and the system should read your floppy start up disk. One thing you can try is restoring a copy of the registry dated the last time the computer booted. Boot with the W98 start up floppy disk--CDRom support doesn't matter. At the A: prompt, type: C: and hit enter. At the C: prompt, type: CD Windows\Command and hit enter. At the Command prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter. Once the registry restore screen appears, select the date of the registry that you wish to restore by highlighting it and then click enter. If you see a registry named: Rbbad.cab, that is a copy of the registry that has already been replaced. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "mostwantedplumber" wrote in message ... i turn on the computer wth the startup disk,and regaurdless of what i try the computer gos to the windows 98 and then to the compac presario then it hangs up at that point. ive tried going threw the safe mode and it does the same thing. can any one please give me some advise as what to do????? |
