windows98 won't start Monday, April 27, 2009 at 5:52 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by pam eisenbarth (1 messages posted) Hi. A friend gave me a computer running win98, it also had lynix installed on the same hard drive. It was running ok, but had a few hardware conflicts, and kept prompting me for the w98 cd. My friend couldn't find hers so I began to look for one on craig's list. Meanwhile, her neighbor..the same person who installed lynix on the computer asked me if I wanted to upgrade the lynix to obano(?sp?), so i said ok. Ever since he did the upgrade when I try to boot windows the computer restarts. No error messages or anything. I'm hoping that someone out there has some idea what to do, or what's causing this. We actually reformatted the drive (with fdisk and format commands) and reinstalled windows and it STILL does it....help....
