98 SE Install Problems
I have a 98 SE CD and a Boot Disk i partitioned the drive (40gb drive) into a 3GB drive using FDISK and then formated the drive. I ran cd-rom support and then did setup, it was installing fine and then asked me to restart so i did, in the middle of loding windows 98 for the first time it said
Warning Disk Boot Sector is being changed press "Y" to accept or any key to cancel. Thats not what it said exactly but something like that, no matter what option i chose it keeps asking me that over and over again and wont load windows. It will just restart over and over again. How can I get rid of it, or what am i doing wrong, please help? My Specs: MSI K7N2 Delta-L AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.2GB DDR Dual Channel Memory Maxtor 40GB ATA/100 2MB Cache 7200RPM Plextor 48/24/48A GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 128MB Audigy Sound Card |

I’d do the following:
Format C: /s (make the hard drive bootable) Reboot without floppy Md c:\windows\cabfiles (make a folder) Cd\ C:\windows\cabfiles (change to that folder) C:\Windows\cabfiles>Copy D:\win98\*.* (copy the files off the cd) C:\Windows\cabfiles>setup (launch setup off the hard drive) |

Either that or simply boot with the CD as WIN98 CD's are bootable. Personally though I would go with EzyStvy's method as you will then have your CAB's on the HD. Any changes in the future that require WIN98 CAB's will already be on the HD and you will simply point to that rather than loading the CD.

Go into the BIOS and disable the boot sector virus protection.

Speedy, for clarification, I was referring to and agreeing with Hal's post. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
