I/O error replace disk on IBM 760xl laptop drive after installing win98 from DT

[tubbydingy]

I was able to install win98 on my IBM 760XL laptop drive w/2.5 cable and it works fine on the desktop , but when i install the drive in my 760XL laptop i get this i/o error replace disk and no prompt. i did download and install the APM files from leveno. does any one have any ideas.

Win98 does not natively support usb, so I should think it's impossible. Unless anyone can come up with a working link to someone's how-to. XP is possible though.

And before proceeding further you need to find out if that laptop supports booting from USB...as it is Win98 it's probably an older one so i doubt it.
If the machine won't boot to USB this is an exercise in futility.

If however it does then i would get a 2.5" laptop to IDE cable and hook it up internally to the desktop and do it that way.

Win98 requires being on the first partition of the first drive, which would be C.
