installing Win 98

[baha]

Hi,

I have a question about the instalation of Win 98 on my pc. I tried to install it first on my pc, but the computer could not find the CDrom, it said can not find OEMCD001, aborting instalation. I took out the hard drive and tried to install Win98 using another PC, on another pc everything went well, but after the instalation was complete and i restarted PC it gave me the following " Type the name of command Interpreter (ex: C:\Windows\command.com)". I typed it but nothing happens. I install hard drive back to my pc, and it does the same stuff.

If you know how i can fix that help me.

Thanks.

Your first problem seems to be the boot disk. The win 98 bootdisk will contain the command interpreter and a generic cd-rom driver. You can download a workable one from

http://www.bootdisk.com

Start the computer with a known good bootdisk.

For the second problem - you CANNOT install win 98 on one computer and then move the hard drive to another computer and expect it to boot and run. The vmm32.vxd driver file that is created by the initial installation is machine specific and simply will not work on another computer. You must install win98 on the computer that you will be running it on.

Yes get a win98 boot disk. Startup with the disk then fdisk and format then install.
