I have had my computer for about a year and when i turn it on it shows a picture of a medal and then it starts loading 98. Well something went wrong with my hard drive and i had to delete everything on it. Now when i load it up it wont read the ms-dos boot disk so i can install and when it gets pass the picture it says missing file C:/windows/system/vmm32.vdx.

You have deleted system files, you pritty much need to reinstall window 98.

Have you tried to boot up with the system disk in a:?

If you have tried that and A: won't boot.

Access the bios when you re boot by pressing the f1 key or the delete key, then see if the bios has A: set, also in the bios make sure that the boot sequence is set to A: then C:

Well ill try that but just to make my problem clearer i had deleted EVERYTHING and now it just when it boots up shows a picture then says locate blah blah blah. So i took out the hard drive and installed 98 on a different comp. So then i put the hard drive back in the original and now it loads up 98 but with no cd rom drives .

So if i delete everything off of it ..change the bios to a: and then run a 98 boot disk I can reinstall windows on this machine.


If that is a yes thx a lot man
