windows 98 on floppy
Boot up from the floppy disk, type "SYS c:" without the quotes and including
the space at the Dos prompt to transfer system files to the hard disk, then you can boot from the hard disk, not boot to windows, boot to dos, enough to install from the cd. Laptops are absolute pigs about display drivers and other non-standard hardware, search the manufacturer's site for drivers if you arent using the cd originally provided with the laptop to re-install -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG http://www.grisoft.com Panda online scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters "Kat" wrote in message ... | help my daughter erased the harddrive on my laptop, the | floppy drive and cd drive are quick change, I have 98 on | cd but when I boot up with the cd drive in, I get an | error message, is there anyway I can get my copy of 98 | put onto floppies so I can reload windows to my laptop?? | thanks so much |
