Just need some help... there is no support in my windows 95 for 32 bit applications y? only stuff that was supported by win32s will run will that still happen in nt ? is my hard drive formated wrong?help?

If the CD drive is recognized by the BIOS, then you can start the install by Floppy Diskette Set.

On the NT4 CD is a file called WINNT.EXE which can create the 4 floppies, this can be accessed by a W98SE Boot Floppy with CD Support.

If the BIOS is passworded then remove the CMOS Battery for a few minutes:

theres only 1 file on my windows nt cd and it is an iso file and im just confused with all that windows 98 boot floppy it doesnt check the floppy at boot either my 486 does but there no cd-rom drive in that and where to install 1

If it is an ISO file it is not genuine, please do not ask for help with pirated software, I am out of here.

Yes the cd says right on it windows NT 4.0 Workstation it i got the cd at a garage sale and imsure that aint no pirate s**t anyway the floppy does boot now when inserted the dos 6.22 setup disk it worked so those windows 98 boot disk what about this how do i do this its just confusing

Well, since there's no real sentence in Response 5, it's difficult to determine exactly what the question is.

How about rephrasing in English and proper sentence structure? :)

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

I have got the computer to check the floppy at boot i tested it ou with the dos 6.2 setup disk.The Bios is set to check the cd-rom but doesnt. i Have tried my 95 cd and XP but it still doesnt work.I found a windows nt 4.0 on a google search will that work? What about that windows 98SE boot disks how will they work?

sorry about that pirot disk or whatever i just gotten a real nt 4.0 disk and it has the file winnt.exe it the directoty i386 now do i run that after the 98 boot disk loads where do i get the boot disk?

This question has been answered a trillion times, SEARCH !

well actually i didnt need any help at all i just clicked on the winnt.exe and it made the disks for me.

At the top it u said that it will make 4 disks. Wheni make my disk it makes only 3 disk. havent installed nt yet because of crappy floppy disk.going to buy some more tommorow. so is there sopasta be 3 or 4 disks ?
