Installing Win98SE
I am trying to load Win98SE into a new and clean primary
partition on my hard drive 1 (the HD was partitioned using Partition Magic8 - first and second partitions contain WinME and Win2000P respectively and either OS boots up and runs OK using Boot Magic). I have been attempting the install using a ME Start-up floppy as I do not have a Win98SE Start-up Floppy (have not been able to find the fat32ebd file on the 98SE CD). Am getting a msg from the floppy relating to a disk cache utility and from the CD telling me that I am attempting to upgrade an existing Win installation. Where am I going wrong, or am I attempting the impossible? Chris |

Installing Win98SE
Disable PQ Magic. Create a 3rd primary partition on the HD for 98SE, set
the partition active. Format the partition if you did not use PM8 to create the partition. Appropriate boot disk image is available at bootdisk.com "Chris" wrote in message ...
