Hi Lars, yes you need a floppy boot disk in there to load dos first, to enable you to start the c:\setup.exe file and process.

Grab a WIndows 98 boot disk from our link partner: Bootdisk.Com

Not something there's much call for thesedays

There's a great walkthru here: Clean Reinstall - let us know if you need help with specifics.

hi i got all the way to where i access the drive of the cd and type setup.exe it says checking registry but then i get a message saying setup requires 73. what is that. and can i fix it?
