Hi, my response is a little out of date... I see that's benn posted on 2001. So, that goes... Make a startup disk in '98 and, at reboot, select start computer with cd-rom support, then hold down shift+F8 and select ms-dos mode ('command prompt only'). Or, you can add the following line to your config.sys file: 'lh c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe:0001 /x' where x is the letter assigned for your cd-rom drive (e.g., if you have two partitions or hard disks, then the letter assigned for the cd-rom would be e:, if you have three would be f: ans so on...). I hope that will do some work for somebody, i think that it is obsolete for the original user.
