Okay here it is... My fiance and i got here old comp back from her mothers place and it was bogged down. It to like 5 mins to open my comp. I spent day making it run faster. I got about a 50%increase of speed. But other problems came up so we decieded to wipe everything and start over.
So i fdisked and formated my 2 drives to look like this
1) C: Pri Dos | 4918 MB | Fat32 | 100%
2) D: Pri Dos | 4863 MB | Fat32 | 50%
E: Ext Dos | 4897 MB | Fat32 | 50%
Did i do this right, i want windows to be on C: .
So then im in dos with cdrom support and i get into F:\ drive.(Cdrom) Then as follows
F:\>setup ---i hit enter---
---Blank line left--- Hangs for a second
F:\> ---then returns me here again.
I am stumped with this way.
So another rout i took was entering 1 on the Start up menu(used boot disk) "Start windows 98 Setup from CD-ROM"
It then loads all of the drivers. Then i get the message:
"The Windows 98 Setup files were not found"
This is a brand new cd. and when i plug it into my XP comp, i can see the setup files; whats going on? Is there anotherway around thes problems?
Thanks for reading and helping me.
