Title: windows 98se
Post by: michael m on October 26, 2004, 12:26:34 PM

I am trying to reinstall windows 98se onto a laptop, but it does not seem to be working. the laptop is a Compaq armada 1571dm. I ahve tried to partition the hard drive using a fat 32 system, but it refuses to let me, even though that is the file type that it requires.....can anyone help?
