unable to install 98 on formatted drive
I recently formatted my c: drive and now when I try to install my Win98 it
starts out all right, scans disk etc... then it says copying files for 98 setup then a message comes up "Standard Mode: Fault outside of ms-dos extender. EC=0000 IP=3E24 AX=0140 BX=0120 CX=0120 DX=01E0 SI=01C0 DI=0000 BP=0FC2 DS=0277 ES=0387 SS=027F SP=0FAZ Please remove any floppy disks from your drives and press any key to restart your system." I recieve this message whether I have my win98 floppy boot disk in or not and am unable to go any further. When I restart my pc the whole process starts again and I end up at the same message. Any help?????? TIA |

To add to Ben Myers.
Most often this problem appears because of the implicit error in the partition table. Usually Fdisk does not correct this error, so I would recommend Bootit Next Generation (30-days fully functional shareware, Bootit NG), www.bootitng.com to repartition the drive. The installation file will create the bootable diskette. Boot from this diskette, cancel continuation, select Partition Work (at the left of the screen), delete the existent partition, and create it by new (select FAT32 primary partition) with formatting. You can skip surface test after formatting, what will save a plenty of time. That helped me not once in such situation. -- Mikhail Zhilin http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.
