Hello,

Go to http://www.bootdisk.com/ and create a Windows 98 Startup disk.
Start with the Windows 98 boot disk, at the a:\ prompt, type:

sys c: and hit enter

Restart the computer normally, if you receive the same error, reboot with
the Startup disk, choose CD-ROM Support, when you get to the prompt,
change to the drive for your cd-rom, insert your Windows 98 cd-rom and type
Setup to re-rerun Windows Setup

Please be aware there are viruses that can cause this error message also.

Best regards,

Tom Montefusco
