Hi
I have just been given an old desktop pc which will be used by my two youngest children, it is an HP Pavillion 3130, it was set up with W95.
I decided to wipe the hard drive, fdisk and reformat then re load but with W98 SE, I have a full W 98SE installation disk from another PC.
All has gone well with fdisk and formatting.
Problem is that now I would like to install w98 I am not able to locate the CD, the system boots from the floppy ok, to the A:\promt I have then tried to use half the alphabet as far as M but have still not located the cd, am I missing something, am i using the correct boot floppy to locate the cd rom, i created the floppy from within win 98 add/remove progs
would appreciate any help as its driving me mad....

Hi Andy and Welcome to the Forum,

If you Formatted C:, then you should not have to use any other drive letter. After format, restart and boot off the floppy. Make sure you start with CD ROM support this time. Let it load everything, and then when you come to the A prompt, just type "Setup" and hit enter.
(Of course make sure that you have your Windows CD in!)

Hope this helps!!

Hi andy and welcome to PCHF,

I have moved your thread to the Windows 98 forum.
