I want to reinstall windows but the this is whats on my screen: Microsof Windows 98 Startup Menu ============================================ 1. Start computer with CD-ROM support. 2. Start computer without CD-ROM support. 3. View the help file. Enter a choice: 1 DOS=HIGH,UMB [Enter=Y ,Esc=N]?Y DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF [Enter=Y, Esc=N?Y DEVICE=OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 [Enter=Y, Esc=N]?Y This driver is provided by Oak Technology, Inc..

I'm a novice when it comes to using DOS so try to explain things to me step by step. Thanks.

The error is happening while loading MSCDEX. Seems that OAK CD drivber is not valid for your system.

In the autoexec.bat you must have a line for mscdex.exe.The line looks like: lh a:\mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 Adjust for the right path in your case and make reference to it in your boot menu.The text that you refer to is the config.sys and it seems O.K. Good luck.

Thanks for the help. I'm not too good with DOS. Where do I put the autoexec.bat line "lh a:\mscdex.exe /d:mscd001"? Anywhere? How do I Adjust for the right path in your case and make reference to it in your boot menu?

Everything seems to be running fine when I boot up it's just I cant get my CD to run the WIN98 setup in DOS. I can get to my D:\ drive but everytime I type "setup" gives me the invalid command line.I've been tryin' new things everyday but just keep on getting more frustrated. I really need help!!!! OH yea I boot with my WIN98 setup disk in with my CD in too, then I pick boot with CD rom drivers. It detects my cd drives; I can get to the drives but cant access them to run anything!!
