I re-formatted my hard drive, and now as I am trying to re-install Win98SE, my computer cannot re-boot, it just goes to a blank screen, the CD drives spin and access but no hard drive or monitor activity occurs. Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work either, just the blank screen. To shut down, I have to unplug my machine! Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

erm tough situation

Do a re-set on your BIOS first off, make sure that you hard drives remain detected

Unplug and disconnect all your hardware except for the mouse, keyboard, monitor & VGA card.

If you can get in a take the rest out the better

then do the install. Chances are that setup is having hardware detection problems

You may have to hold the power button for 3 to 5 seconds to get it to shut off.
