computer it requires my windows 98 CD to use as boot record to start windows without the cd in the drive my windows 98 doesnt startup it just stops at the logo screen. how do i change my boot record from my cdrom to my actual harddrive where the software is actually installed and how do i find out what my harddrive is called. |

The boot record is located on the hard drive. Don't believe this has
anything to do with your problem. Setting a PC to boot from CD occurs in the bios. After doing so, the PC will attempt to access boot files from the CD, not the hard drive. If the PC hangs after attempting to boot from CD, apparently, the bios setup is not configured properly to boot from the next possible bootable device. Or there is a problem with the hard drive or its interface. The hard drive may have a model number and serial number accessed through the hard drive firmware. The PC does not use this information during normal operation. The volume name and a name provided during a format is in the partition boot record. "Dubbz" wrote in message ...
