Re: [OT again] Win98 installation issues
Has this machine been recenlt rebuilt? It may be as simple as Master/Slave
issue on an IDE
chain.. I had the worst trouble one time with 2 CD-ROMs both designated as
'Computer Select' and
only one would work at a time, never both, odd....

Subject: [OT again] Win98 installation issues
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?
