A guy from work accidently wiped his hard drive and I'm trying to intall windows 98 for him on his Compaq Presario 1247 Laptop. It would not install XP(not enough memory) I performed FDisk and wiped everything and made a non-partitioned drive. I popped the 98 CD in and rebooted.
Chose boot from CD
Chose Start windows 98setup from cd-rom.
Then it says Error
Setup cannot instal Windows 98 on your computer
