Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / January 2005Windows 98 reinstall
I have formated the hard drive. I insert my Microsoft boot disc & Windows 98 CD-Rom. I select "1. Start Windows 98 Setup from CD-ROM". Then the I get the following:" This driver is provided by Oak Technology, etc..." But once I get to this line " Device Name : OEMCD001" nothing else happens. The cursor stays to the right of "1". Any suggestions? I have tried reinstall by changing the BIOS to read the CD-ROM first, but no luck. > I have formated the hard drive. I insert my Microsoft boot disc & > Windows 98 CD-Rom.

You may have a faulty boot disk. Make a new one. You can download a program to create one from www.bootdisk.com. Once you get a good boot disk, you will have to manually launch setup from there. How to do it depends on what letter the disk assigns to your CD-ROM drive. For example, if it assigns D: to the drive (it will tell you on the screen), then you need to type: D:\SETUP  SignatureJim Eshelman, MS-MVP Windows/Security Windows Support Center: http://aumha.org/ AumHa Forums: http://aumha.net/ The floppy drive, not the CDRom, needs to be the first boot device in the BIOS. You can make a floppy boot disk with the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the W98 CD: tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd or you can download one here: http://www.bootdisk.com/ For detailed installation instructions: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w98_restore.html SignatureRegards Ron Badour, MS MVP Windows 98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo >I have formated the hard drive.
