trouble installing win 98 Saturday, June 9, 2001 at 4:40 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by daih (3 messages posted) I decided to do a clean windows install so i fdisk'd my hard drive.I then recreated the dos partition so now when i type setup at f:> prompt i hear cd-drve firing up it starts setup gets as far as the message initializing setup checking registry (windows requires 7002mb(not sure of exact number)drive space to run etc,etc)and then it all goes quite and freezes and nothing else happens.But it always freezes when that message comes up but never in the same place on that message some times the whole message nearly comes up sometimes it barely starts.I have tried both drives cd-rom and cd-writer and two different(original not copies)of windows 98se but the same thing happens all the time yet linux will install perfect(wiped of before i try win 98 install).Can somebody please help me because i'm starting to get desperate.CHEERS IN ADVANCE.p.s my whole system is about 6 months old,except the hard drive which is about a year old.
