hey,
problem1
*******
I got a pc that had 98 on it, but the guy formatted and didnt know what to do from there, so I whacked 98 on with a clean install and then it gives a registry error upon boot, something like "windows has detected errors and will repair upon reboot", upon reboot it opens scandisk says there is a problem with windows/system.dat and then say its fixed, but upon boot it does the same thing...
I have installed 98 onto it about 5 times from 3 different copies, and it does boot into safe mode without problems...also XP is on now and works fine (but there are only 98 drivers for the comp so I need to be in 98)
anyone come across this before?
problem2
*******
I then proceeded to try 98 on an older pc to see whether it was just the cds thats were borked, this time met with different errors of missing files upon the install
95 does go on the machine fine, and I have just installed 98 to an old Hard Disk on this machine (im home now) and its fine :S
what gives?
