I copied the files to a folder on c:. but when i ran setup....same msg.
,to be exact:
"Setup does not have enough conventional memory to check your computers
hard disks. You need to free some conventional memory before
continuing.

For information on freeing conventional memory see SETUP.TXT on setup
disk or windows 98 cd."

What now? I know I'm nearing scrapping this whole thing but there has
got to be a way to get this disk to work. It's a legit disk...and i
already have 98....this should be easy right? simple update
installation? BTW...as you suggested i was in safe mode, so with only
essentials running, how could i run on any less memory?

using "...without CD-ROM support" and type "win /d:m". Then run
setup again.
