I am fixing up an older computer for my mother and I am having problems getting Windows 98 installed on it. The hard drive is a Western Digital 2.1GB. The hard drive has two drives on it one is 2047MB and the other is 393MB. I have it as a secondary drive on my computer and it works fine. Windows98 is installed on it but it just won't boot up when windows98 is being installed on it. Can someone help please?
 
I figured out my problems. I ran fdisk /mbr then deleted the non dos partition. Formatted and then installed Windows 98. There is alot of information in the previsious threads that goes back to July of 2001.
