98 install?
A friend ask me if I could look at some laptop computers
he bought, to see if they worked. they both had 95 on them, but instead of an upgrade he want me to wipe it clean. I reformatted them both and loaded the 1st laptop with no problems. the 2nd one contenues to reach 56%, then a message comes up "you have interuped the install" and it won't go anyfurther. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Since it came with Win95, you might try installing Win95 and then upgrading.
This will still be a clean install since all of the old data has been wiped out by the format. I'm not sure where setup is at 56% but these articles might help: How to Troubleshoot Computer Hangs During Hardware Detection http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=262381 Windows 98/Me Setup Hangs During Plug and Play Hardware Detection http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194721 Laptops often have proprietary hardware that requires specific drivers from the manufacturer of the laptop. Check for any specific instructions on installing Win98 on the laptop manufacturer's web site. PattyL "slimjim" wrote in message ...
