can't install win98se
As I have stated many times in attempts to get help, I
can't install win98se on a new hard drive. I keep getting the following message: "The windows 98 startup disk could not create a temporary drive for the diagnostic tools. This may be because this computer has less than the minimum required extended memory. Path not found - :\COMMAND.COM Path not found - :\EXTRACT.EXE Path not found - :\README.TXT Bad command or file name The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive. File not found." I tried to create a new startup disk using the win98se cd but this computer I'm using has xp and it wouldn't let me browse the win98 cd. I need help. |

Remove some of the ram 512 or less when installing
and if this helps load Win98-SE then we can help in getting the rest of your ram usable. It may be to much to start with on a fresh install. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- I have 728Ram of memory. It does show up in the Bios.

I added the additional 512Ram because I kept getting the
same message with 256RAM. The amount of Ram isn't the problem. -----Original Message----- Remove some of the ram 512 or less when installing and if this helps load Win98-SE then we can help in getting the rest of your ram usable.

If you selected a bootdisk at bootdisk.com,
that matches your system, the you would be able to boot to dos. If you cant do that there is something with your hardware. -- Windows98 links to solutions http://jake98.no-ip.info Replies in the same thread please Regards Jake |

I did try the boot disk at bootdisk.com and I keep
getting an error message whenever I try to use it. My computer won't recognize it. There is nothing wrong with my hard drive. It's brand new. My motherboard is also brand new. -----Original Message----- If you selected a bootdisk at bootdisk.com, that matches your system, the you would be able to boot to dos.

Please note that the downloads at http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
are programs that you download and double-click on a working computer. They will not work if you simply copy them to a floppy. Ben wrote in message = ... I have 728Ram of memory.
