I haven't installed windows before on my computer. So after my hard drive is completly clean and formated, how do I install windows 98 FE if I don't have a startup disk?? I have my CD-ROM drivers on a floppy. I don't know how to start the installation procedure of Win98. Someone tell me! HELP!!!:confused:
Your best bet is a bootdisk..
You can get it from bootdisk.com
After you do it..
You type your CD Rom.. IE:
f:
setup.exe
And go from there..
format c:\s is the command for Formatting the C .. and making it bootable.

Assuming one drive.....
a: floppy
c: HDD
f: CD ROM
Boot up using boot disk
a:>format c:
a:>sys c:
a:>f:
f:>setup
and let it run...............
Or if you don't want to have to keep the cd around
A: format c:
C: md w98
F: copy win98 to c:\w98
after copy is done cd to w98 and type setup

just a thought...why not use the format c: /s command?
does it differ from sys?
