can you guys tell me how to install windows 98 from dos

Greetings: I have no experience with DOS, but I think what you are trying to do is the same procedure as starting from a bootdisk. If so, when you boot into DOS and get to an A:\ prompt, enter the letter of the CD-ROM drive, which is most likely D:\. Once there, enter "setup" to start the Win98 CD. Good luck. Ed

Hi Mark. first make sure you have a boot disk that has CD-Rom support. then install the boot disk and reboot. at the dos prompt type D:\setup.exe D being your CD-Rom drive. Have a nice day Mark. Keep us posted.

Hi Mark, Ed, OldHobo, hi everyone, Launching the system with a Ws98-bootdisk will shift CD-Rom unit one letter: if it was D:, it will be E: (type a dir E: to be sure) --- You have another way to install Windows: - mount CD - change Bios settings to get CD-drive as boot unit #1 - bootup and follow assistant - install Ws98 - change Bios settings back! --- Another way to install Windows on Top: - start in Dos - go to C:\Windows\Options\Cabs - enter setup or install and follow assistant Take care, not all systems have the content of the CD stored in that folder (some have it in C:\Win98, some don't have anything!)
