Windows 98 Startup Disk Wont work
Hiya everyone!

This is my problem. I reformatted my comp because I had too much crap on it I didnt want and I wanted win98 on there. SO I reformat it and use the win98 startup disk and it will not work. The os I had before was win95.. I have tried to boot from the cd-rom but it will not work. Does anyone know of a way I could fix this?

I fixed it. It seems that my friend changed how the system booted and it wasnt registering the floppy.

does the bios support booting from CD? You will have to enable it if so.
