Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / July 2004Boot up disc
when the computer boots up it asks me for a bootable disk. I put the disk in and it says remove the disk to restart and then it asks me for the bootable disk again. is my boot disk broke? Why wont my computer come up? I want to upgrade windows 98 to Windows XP. Please let me know how i do that after i get it to come up. I bought the Windows XP Home Edition. Thank you anyone who can help me. My 10 year old daughter really thanks you. It is her computer. What exactly is the message you get when the computer starts, and what exactly is the disk that you are inserting?

Or when you created the boot disk... to know exacly you must find the directory of the disk and there must be more than 4 files, as mine had the first time i tried it. Here are a list of the files: ASPI2DOS.SYS 35,330 - download aspi2dos.sys AUTOEXEC.BAT 1,103 CONFIG.SYS 629 SETRAMD.BAT 1,416 README.TXT 15,608 FINDRAMD.EXE 6,855 RAMDRIVE.SYS 12,663 ASPI4DOS.SYS 14,386 BTCDROM.SYS 21,971 ASPICD.SYS 29,620 BTDOSM.SYS 30,955 ASPI8DOS.SYS 37,564 ASPI8U2.SYS 40,792 FLASHPT.SYS 64,425 EXTRACT.EXE 93,242 FDISK.EXE 63,900 DRVSPACE.BIN 68,871 COMMAND.COM 93,880 HIMEM.SYS 33,191 OAKCDROM.SYS 41,302 EBD.CAB 272,206 XP install CDs must be booted from, not a floppy diskette. If you are unable to boot from CD, there is a KB article on how to make a set of bootable CDs for XP installation. Go to an XP newsgroup for this information. > when the computer boots up it asks me for a bootable > disk. I put the disk in and it says remove the disk to [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > help me.
