Sorry to bother you lovely people again, but I'm having trouble installing windows 98 on an old machine of mine... (P 166 MMX) It's got a single physical and logical drive that is blank (2G) I have a win98 boot disk, and the original win98 install media (not a burnt copy). I have rebuilt machines recently with it, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. Attempt 1: Set BIOS to boot from CD Insert win98 CD (no floppy in drive) Power on machine... Comes up with error: 'Non system disk error. Please remove and try again' Attempt 2: Set BIOS to boot from floppy Insert win98 CD and boot floppy Power on machine Choose Boot with CD-ROM support... The boot floppy doesn't detect the cd drive. The CD drive worked before I rebuilt the machine, and it's relatively new, a 24x ATAPI cdrom drive. Any clues as to what I should try next? ===================================================== .______<-------------------\__ / _____<--------------------__|=== ||_ <-------------------/ \__| Mr Trick
