Hi everyone, Iīm in deep trouble. I was having maor problems with my PC and ten in a fit of sheer stupidity, I ended up reformatting the hard drive. Imagine that I did not make any backups etc. Never mind the lost info - I doīt mind that really. Itīs the problem now that I donīt even have MSDOS installed so I canīt go about reinstalling my CDROM, sound, VGA cards etc. etc. etc. which also means I canīt install my OS (WIN98)...I know this is askign a lot but how do I go abt getting the PC functioning again ? ie. I presume Iīll have to start by reinstalling MSDOS...where do I get anĻ"installable" copy from ? Thks a lot for yr help :)

You don't need Dos. You need a bootdisk. You can get one HERE. The download contains the necessary files to create a bootdisk. Download it to the computer and select on the download. You will be prompted to insert a floppy. When this is complete put the bootdisk into the formatted hard drive. Select Start with CDROM Support. Insert your Win98 CD. At the A:\>type E:setup [Enter] Windows setup should begin. Mesich

"When this is complete put the bootdisk into the formatted hard drive". Suppose you can't really put it in the hard drive so put it in the floppy on the computer with the formatted hard drive. :) Mesich
