Hope u solved your problem I can't get started at all now. I decided to reformat my harddrive but have had loads of problems. In the end I fdisked and reformatted. Now my machine appears to be completely knackered. I cannot load up 98 at all. I get as far as formatted complete 14,638.69MB total disk space. Total available 14,638.69MB All seems ok up to this point. No problems reported. I then reboot with CD support and insert 98. At the A:\> prompt I type setup. Scandisk hits in automatically.It reports,Problem Found, 63,961,664 bytes of data on drive C (I have tried two harddrives and it reports the same for both) that might be one or more lost files or directories but which is probably just taking up space. I have tried to save and fix, delete,dont fix, however whichever I do I cannot get to installing 98. It reports drive c had errors but were fixed. It seems no matter what I try I cannot get to installing 98. Any ideas other than bin it ?
