I'm not sure if my Subject headline is related to what I'm about to describe.
Just a day ago, I put together my computer with all new parts. 4.5Gig HD, Floppy, 32-CDROM, Xeon PII (Dual 450), MS-6135 Microstar Mobo. Everything booted beautiful and I was so excited that I built it successful. So today, I decided to install an OS, and I could not Install Windows 2000 because it said that it could not run in DOS mode.
So my dad gave me a startup disk/98. I don't know why I need this stupid disk for it had no purpose to what I was trying to do. So, I popped in the Startup Disk/98, and then it did all these commands step by step. So, once it was loaded in 98/DOS mode I tried to install 2000 again (D: SETUP), and then it still said, cannot run in DOS mode.
So, I took out that stupid startup floppy/98 disk, and everytime I freaking boot it says the following,:
Searching from Boot Record floppy...Not Found
Searching from Boot Record IDE-0...OK
Starting Windows 98...
So then after this, it goes to the C: prompt waiting for a command. So this is not so bad. But ever since I put in that stupid ass Startup Disk, the commands above appear. I don't like these commands and want to get rid of it. I tried clearing the CMOS, but that still doesn't take these commands away. So, I'm assuming I need to clear the BIOS.
Is there a way I can complete refresh (default) my Motherboard so it boats the way it came from the factory?
Another thing, I can't install a OS!!! When I go into D:, and then I try to install Windows 98 or Windows 95, it goes through a DOS Scandisk (routine check), but then goes back into DOS mode stating,
Please wait while setup initializes.
Copying files needed for Windows Setup...
D:
You see, it stops at D:, and I've never seen this. Wait is the computer doing? Does anybody know away to get around this. I just want to get my computer the way it was in Factory settings.
