Re: new hard drive no msdos.... Reply #16 – December 10, 2004, 03:21:26 PM Windows 98 : Control Panel, Add remove Programs, should be under one of the tabs, Third one I think .*edit* I can't seem to type fast enough, but you want 98 not xp, xp won't make a properly usable disk. Quote Selected

Reply #20 – December 10, 2004, 03:59:20 PM Quote from: Cougar8775ok another huge prob it won't recognize the windows 98 second edition cd to make the boot disk so now what?It's Looking for the cab files from the 98 cd, put the cd drive in copy the cabs folder off the cd to the hd (if you have room). Then put the floppy drive back in and make the disk again, this time when it asks for the windows 98 cd, point it to where you put the cab files. Quote Selected

Re: new hard drive no msdos.... Reply #23 – December 10, 2004, 10:22:33 PM Honestly if you still can try the method i described with copying the cab files off the 98 cd to the hard drive if you can. It'll give you the right type of boot disk. If not do you have a network set-up at home? Quote Selected
