Ok.... I re-formatted the hard drive on my windows98....and did a start-up floppy prior to that.

It re-starts and boots up using the ( CD Rom support )
At the a:\>.... set-up....enter.....bad command or file name.

Have the 98 CD in the drive....start-up floppy in.....and it won't let the CD crank up.....any ideas?

"NHBuck" is stuck!!
 
so you bootet with the floppy?
How did you make the floppy?
Are you sure its a Win98 boot floppy?
You can also try to open the CD after booting with the floppy:
type
d:
or
e:
or
f:
then type setup or setup.exe

You can get bootdisks at www.bootdisk.com
 
couldnt u just stick the floppy in the comp ur on know, browse it and see what u named the the exacutable on the disk... if u didnt name it 'setup' then i dont think that will work. example- if its named 'setup01' then thats what u need to enter for it to run.

iv never used a boot disk but that would be myguess.
