Whenever i try to install Windows98 SE on my Compaq
Presario 2515EA, i get an error message during setup that

"A fatal exception OE has occured at 0028:FF02847B."

And my system halts everytime.

I repartitioned and reformated the harddisk, but same
error.

I don't have any NTFS partition.

Any help!

Thankx!

Try copying the Win98 folder from the CD to the hard drive. Then pull all
unnecessary hardware, unplug CDROM drive(s), etc. You should have only the
hard drive, display adapter, mouse & keyboard. Then run setup from the
\win98 folder on the hard drive.

If this is not successful, please let us know what part of setup it is in
when you get the error. Also, make sure that your boot floppy does not have
a virus.

Thankx for your reply!

I have already tried it by copying the win98 folder and
installing it from there. But same error. I am getting
this error after the first time system restarts during
installation process.

Thankx!
