Hi,
I'm trying to fix a problem for a friend. His machine is a HP pavilion with Win98SE.
When booting up it gets as far as the initial "Windows 98" screen then goes immediately to a C: prompt.
Also - the text above the c: prompt looks just like when you boot to a boot disk.

This Driver is provided by Oak Technologies..." and appears to have load MSCDEX like a boot disc would.
There is only one drive/one partition - and the boot order (in BIOS) is set to boot to the had drive - so there is no confusion like I might be accidentally booting to another drive or disc.
I tried installing Win98 over itself - it installs but when you need to rebboot to continue setup - I get the C: prompt again. :|
I also can't find the boot.ini file anywhere...
It will, however, boot into safe mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Pete
