Hi y'all, Jared, In addition to all the excellent posts above.. To install win 98 on a clean formatted disk, you need a couple of things.. 1. A win98 bootdisk...( www.bootdisk.com ) This download will be an executable file..You will have to copy the exe file to your drive and execute it..It will ask to insert a floppy..It will then copy, the start up files to your floppy...This will be bootable..This is just one way to obtain a bootable floppy..There are other ways..You will need a bootable win98 floppy... 2. You will need a win 98 install windows disk. 3. NOTES: 4. NOTE: If you have a burner and cdrom, the burner should be the Master on the Secondary IDE, with the cdrom set as Slave.. 5. NOTE: If you have two H/D's, they should be set as Master and Slave on the Primary IDE.. 6. NOTE: If you just have one cdrom, it should be Master on the Secondary IDE.. 7. NOTE: If you have just one H/D, it should be set as Master on the Primary IDE.. 8. Boot with the floppy, This will load the drivers for your cdrom, and leave you at the A:prompt.. Note the letter assigned to your virtual drive..If it is D:, your Master burner or cdrom will be E: 9. At the A: prompt, ( if you have just a cdrom ) insert your win98 disk..and type E:\, (click enter) and then at the E:\ prompt, type Setup, and (click enter)...(If you have a burner and a cdrom,) insert your win98 disk in the burner,) and type E:\, (click enter)and then at the E:\ prompt, type Setup, and (click enter)... 10. At this point your win98 disk should be loading windows... Hope this helps beansoup
