Default Setup problem

I have run the boot from the startup disk, and now it
won't run setup. It just gives me the mssg. Bad command.
Thanks for any help.

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.
