| 101417 | 2002-11-25 22:58:00 | Following an error message that I couldn't solve I have repartitioned and reformatted my 40GB harddrive. On attempting to reinstall Win98SE I am getting the following two messages "Warning, Disc Boot Sector is to be modified..." and behind that " Error, Setup cannot install Windows on your computer. A disc error was detected while writing a new boot record to your first hard drive". What can I do? |

| 101419 | 2002-11-25 23:04:00 | CAUSE Some computers include a feature that prevents applications from writing to the boot sector . Such features are normally in the form of anti-virus protection set in your computer's CMOS settings . If anti-virus protection is enabled, Windows cannot complete its installation, or it does not load properly . RESOLUTION Disable the anti-virus feature in your computer's CMOS settings, and then reinstall Windows . Once you have successfully installed Windows, re-enable the anti-virus feature . For information about accessing your computer's CMOS settings, please consult your owner's manual or your computer manufacturer . |
