Thanks for the reply. I tried this and the last 2 items didn't work. So I re-installed the win98 on CDrom and its the same thing. Did I format my pc wrong? The bootdisk I downloaded from the site you suggested will not work on my a: drive. Kept on telling me that it is an invalid drive. Anymore suggestion? Will greatly appreciated.
