Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / August 2005reinstalling win98
I am having a problem formating an older computer. I formated the C drive and while running the win98 CD, the CD drive started making a noise and then locked up. My question is: Since C is already formated and all the drivers gone, how can I run the win98 CD now. I replaced the CD drive with a good one, but it will not reconize it since the drivers are gone. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Charles The drivers you need during Setup after a format are provided by the Windows Startup floppy boot disk. Does it not now see the CD drive?  SignatureGary S.
