I booted from win98 CD, instead of floppy. Do I need an antistatic wrist thing? Because I dont have one. |

| 185600 | 2003-10-23 06:38:00 | Also, go into BIOS and "load optimized defaults" | Peter H (220) | ||
| 185601 | 2003-10-23 06:40:00 | The back of your floppy has 2 cables - 4 core for power - the other for signal etc - this is multicore. | Peter H (220) | ||
| 185602 | 2003-10-23 06:43:00 | I have Load Setup Defaults, if thats what you mean. Should I update my bios? Because I seem to be missing some stuff. Like turning of PNP, and Load Optimized stuff. www.msi.com.tw That is the bios page for my motherboard. Also, bloggsworld.orcon.net.nz That is a hardware report on my computer if it helps. |

| 185605 | 2003-10-23 06:57:00 | 1] If your cpu has a speed of more than 300mhtz Win 95 will not work. There is a patch but why bother? 2] If you boot with a CD, the start files are stored as A: & the CD is asigned a different letter. 3] When it says it can't read from "A:" it means it cant read the CD, this is because in order to support the CD drive you need a Dos start floppy with CD support. 4] Setup from drive "C" . Boot with Win98 floppy with CD support: Copy the "Win95" folder from your CD to drive "C:" 5] Select the CD (probably E or F), cd win95, setup |

| 185606 | 2003-10-23 08:54:00 | Ah, thanks. I installed it this time without the odd drive errors. It didnt help much though. It still locks up when setting up Plug and Play. I have tried my bios things with no luck. I can use win98 because its an OEM, and I already have it installed on one computer. |

| 185608 | 2003-10-23 11:07:00 | What is preventing you from using an OEM version on more than one computer, (unless it is XP) ? It is not an upgrade so you would have to do a clean install, but there is no practical reason why you shouldn't do it. |
