installing windows 98 se (W98)

[randomlight]

I am trying to do a new widows 98 install for a friend.I have a 98 se boot disk and an original 98 se cd.I formatted the drives and all seems well ecxept that I can`t get it to recognise the cdrom with the windows 98 software. When I get to the prompt "install using cd support" and hit enter I get a message that says"no cd rom drivers selected".Is this something that can be rectified in the bios? Any help would be appreciated

Boot from the diskette (you may need to change the boot order in the BIOS) and then install from the CD...

Boot from a floppy then...

Make sure your CD room drive is accessible. Normally, when you boot from cd, it will ask you if you want a cd-support like there will be 3 selections

Have you tryed making a different boot disk the one you currentley have may be bad. another question is did the CD-Rom work properley before you formatted the drive?

I had that problem a few times...

One was a buggie pirate CD that someone nasty gave me...

Another time the boot floppy was defective from being too close to regular speaker magnets...

Another was a bug in the chips.. I had to open the case, and pull the battery for ten minutes.. then everything loaded fine...

Now I make it a habit to pull the battery before every systems reload...

And if you are using a pirate CD, check it and the floppy for viruses, on another PC..
