Robb This may indicate that you are not using the correct commands to initiate the setup routine This should be [assuming you are using a bootdiskette that starts to the A: prompt, and your CD is assigned D:] a:\ D: enter D:\ D:\ cd win98 enter D:\win98 D:\win98 setup enter If the above still fails, try a different bootdiskette www.bootdisk.com NOTE: some bootdiskettes install a RAM drive, so your actual CD will be one letter higher than normal. Just watch the monitor as the system boots for clues to how the CD is detected and what drive letter is being assigned to it. rgds Lil Roberto |
