Here's how:
You'll need the CD with Windows98 on it.
Next, create a bootable floppy disk.....
(You can do this from a computer using the same operating system)
.....with the following files on it:
fdisk.exe
himem.sys
mscdex.exe
autoexec.bat
config.sys
<your CDROM's device driver file> (for example: ATAPI.SYS)
The autoexec.bat file can contain only the following line:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM
(CDROM is any up-to-8-character name you choose for the drive)
Your config.sys file should contain the following:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
FILES=60
BUFFERS=20
DEVICE= <driver file> /D:CDROM
LASTDRIVE=Z
(<driver file> is the name of your CDROM's device driver)
Do not type the words in parenthesis above. They are for your reference only.
You'll have to locate a device driver file for the CDROM drive.
Next, test the floppy disk to be certain it will boot.
Then fdisk the hard drive, delete any existing partitions, insert the floppy, and reboot.
Enter CDROM's drive letter (followed by a colon)
Change to the WIN98 directory - CD <Drive Letter>:\WIN98 <Enter>
Type SETUP <Enter>
Windows will take over from there.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more details.
