no device driver selected

HI ALL,

oldbe here...Trouble with XP, Did the FDISK and format, used the floppy win98 to do this, left it in the A: drive reboot and used win98 disk to install the OS system, this what came up,no valid cdrom device drivers found, win98setup files not found, Device driver oemcd001 not found, OAK technology. Tried the floppy in another PC and it showed the files, so I think the win98 floppy is good. This is a old PC, P11 450 MHZ Memory 640MB HD 13.5GB, I tried to use xp by it's self to see if it would boot, no good...
Partition C:, state A, type PRI-DOS, Mbytes 12966, SYS fat32, usage 100%
At the C: prompt type WIN and enter Bad file, Bad Command,A:/ typed DIR C: showed that there was files there,tried SYS C:, EXT.EXE, Findramd.exe all said bad file bad command.....HELP.....Thank you for your time...
Bigbass....

DLoad a fresh one from bootdisk.com...
Grab the Win98SE one.
Extract the DLoad to a fresh floppy...

P.s. You don't need to install Win98....XP will ask for an older version...at that prompt simply put in the Win98 CD and setup will continue...

 Thank you...Thank you...Thank you...I'll try that tomorrow and let you know if it worked...It's been a long time since I played around with a PC, But I'll give it a shot as it's not doing anybody any good the way that it is....

No problem and Welcome Aboard ! !

P,S, After booting to the floppt at the A: prompt type setup and hit Enter with the XP CD in.

 Hi Patio,

 Went to Bootdisk and Dloaded win98se oem to my downloads folder,I clicked on it and it said currant image format is not supported by disk drive...

 Than I right click on it and sent it to my A:/ drive to copy it, took it out and put it in the floppy drive and started my pc, it said to remove any media and restart, did that, no good, tried to go to the A: prompt would not let me, kept saying abort, failed, What do you think......

 Thanks

Link Fixed is the one you want...
You will need an extraction program to create the floppy correctly.
7Zip is FREE.

Sorry 'bout that...you want the Win98SE OEM one...

When I click on HERE in your answer I get no server found... What is it that I'm looking for....

[patio]

Link fixed...

Hi,

Also I forgot to tell you that the Dload is a self Extractor file if that means
anything...

[bigbass]

That is the one that I got...WIN98se OEM self extrator file do I still need
7Zip..

[patio]

No...just insert a formatted floppy and double clik the file.

[bigbass]

OK, I'll format a another floppy and try it again...

Thank you..

[bigbass]

I did a new floppy format and I installed it in the pc booted it up and it's
doing the same thing as my first post....No device driver, let it run and at the
A:/ prompt typed setup and bad command...

1.  Objective.  You never clearly stated your goal.
    a.  To install (and use just) Windows XP ?
    b.  To hard drive containing just one partition ?
    c.  Using FAT32 or NTFS filesystem ?

2.  Windows XP CD.  Which CD do you have?  What "exactly" is printed on the CD?

3.  Boot Order.  Is the BIOS (thru CMOS setup) set to boot CD-ROM drive before hard drive?

pc...

H/D is on one Partition Drive C:

Bios is set to boot from CD Rom first and H/D second
