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?
