16248	2001-07-30 01:57:00	I recently upgraded to a Duron 800 processor with new mother board and hard drive. I purchased Win 98 SE. All is fine with this new system. I decided to give my old PC a birthday and do a clean install of the OS. It is a Pentium 200 and 48MB RAM with a Maxtor 8.4GB Hard drive. I reformatted the hard drive, created 2 partitions of 2GB and 6.4GB, labelled as logical drives C and D. I have tried to load Win 98 SE and keep getting an error message as follows: 'Setup has detected a corrupt Setup (.CAB) file and cannot continue.' This occurs while the setup program is getting ready to copy the files to drive C. I thought that maybe my Win 98 SE CD was faulty, so I tried to load Win 95 (which was originally loaded on this computer). I get the same error message. What do you suggest??

At dos prompt for drive c: type md win98 then copy e:\win98\*.* c:\win98 this will copy the contents of your win98 setup folder to your c drive. Change the c: to d: if you wish to copy the files to the second partition and the e: I am assuming is your cd-rom drive letter(could be f: if you are booting from the standard win98 boot disk with ramdisk).
