| 419759 | 2006-01-10 07:52:00 | It's generally a fairly easy step-through process. First thing... what happens if you insert the disk and restart the computer? It should start the installation process and you just follow the on-screen instructions. | Greg (193) | ||

| 419762 | 2006-01-10 21:10:00 | If you've goten a C:\> prompt, pctek is right. Sometime it can be tricky to see the CD drive, if you've done this type of boot. It's usually easier to do one of the following: * boot from the CD (may require BIOS setting change) * use the Windows 98 boot floppies, which will load the CD drivers. |
