I have an old Compaq Presario 5220 that had a locked display property of large icons and limited colors.
After trying different things in safe mode I decided to do a clean install from the disc, but first formatted and then created the first partition. The extended partition was not allowed.
Formatting must have removed the cd driver because Windows 98 wouldn't reload on a cold boot. I tried the emergency floppy and still no go. All unoriginal hardware has been disconnected (burner and a parallel port) as per the first time I had the problem but was able to get a full restore via the cd.
Any suggestions?
