I have WinNT 4.0 installed on the second partition of my computer. I have partitioned my disk with the WinNT-setup (That seems to be a problem for Win98). I want to install Win98 on the first partition: Scandisk does not work on c:, therefore I start setup with parameter /is. setup works as usual, but after the reboot the screen remains black, win98 does not start (so does nt). after nt-repair win98 appears in the boot-manager but does not start (winnt now starts). I also tried sys c:\ from a Win98 bootdisk? Do I have any other possibilities than installing everything from the beginning? thanks a lot Dago
