MORE ON RE-INSTALLING
Thanks Charles;
It is a ToshibaTecra 500CDT, I was in A: from the 98 startup disk then went to D:. It does boot up...oem disk? not sure what you mean. It boots up says the pci bus scan and all that was complete..everything comes up good until I put Setup in...then it says cannot run setup in DOS mode. I dont know much about any more of it....just trying to get it out of DOS mode as the computer is wiped now...Thanx Liz

Some laptops require custom installations; most require custom drivers (for LED display etc.) 2. A Win98SE system CD that will not run SETUP in DOS mode is probably an upgrade CD, designed to run only on a PC that already has Win98. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Anyway usally when I have seen the "can't run in DOS mode" means that the OS I am using is an NT based one. If you are still having greef try this: after you boot to the A: drive and get the DOS prompt A: type in the following - VER and hit enter. If it says anything other than "Windows 98 [Version 4.10.222]" you are not using Windows 98 Second Edition. If you are still out there let us know what is going on. later, charles....
