Help: Windows 98 SE installation
I need help in installing WIN 98 (SE).
I took out clean formatted HD from one of my other computer, wher it was a "Primary Slave" I have attached it to a new make as Primary Master. I have downloaded the bootable disk from Bootdisk.com I am booting the computer with bootdisk floppy and ultimately it can detect CD ROM. Now I can see A:\> I can also change drive to D:\> But unfortunately, when I type CD C: it returns "Unrecognized Drive" as answer. How can I solve this problem. Please help me out. Question: 1) Do I need to copy the contents of the bootdisk floppy on to C drive? 2) Since, I can't reach at C:\> , how can I copy? Thanks in advance Arup. |

Hi Arup,
Does BIOS recognize the drive?? Do you have an Active Partition on it?? TwoRails |

Arup,
Check TwoRails suggestions and if everything there is ok, I believe you type E:\ at the the A:\ prompt as the bootdisk has made a temporary "Ramdrive" and pushes your cd-rom up a letter. Type E:\setup after you put the Win98se disk in the drive and Windows should start loading. Carl |

Arup,
Type FDISK at the A:\ prompt and make your partition active. Carl |

Arup in addition to creating the active drive w/fdisk- did you change the jumper from slave to to master?
