Reinstalling Win 98
"grafxfriday" wrote in message ...
I have done this before without a hitch. This time I made the mistake of uninstalling software that came with Windows, Star Office 5.0. When I insert the eMachine cd then do 1. Restore format HDD it seems to work then a very brief error message "can't crate extraction dir", then continual error message, "can't create C:/OFFICE51" and "unable to process". Then the screen says image restores then reboots and asks for Restore setup. I have 5 books from the library but they seem to be for WIN 95. I can view BIOS, but dos won't go to C from A. Thanks in advance for your brillancy! Unplug the computer, open the case and remove and reseat the cables that connect the hard drive to the motherboard or controller card. Then go into the BIOS setup and make sure the hard is properly configured. Use autodetect if available and be sure to save the settings when exiting. Then try the restore CD. Ben |
