problem while installation os
Hi all,
I'm a newbye and i hope that this is the place to my question. My purpose is to install win98. I made fdisk and now I wont to install the os from CD-ROM so I chouse the option of loading with CD (using the startup disk) and the switching to d:\, when I'm trying to use the commands: cd or dir I got the message: "invalid media type reading drive D" What am I doing wrong?? thanks, |

If you are using a win98 boot disk the cd letter would not be D but E because
ram drive is installed as D. Are you sure the cd rom is able to read your instalation disk? |

Just a guess, the 98 disk used D: as its own ramdisk. The CD-ROM is E:. The
start up disk should have told you where everythink is.So it is E:\setup to start. HG "hagit" wrote in message ... Hi all, I'm a newbye and i hope that this is the place to my question.
