I would check the memory. When there is bad memory in the computer Windows won't install. Win 98 is not as bad with this as Win2000 or XP. At work we had a machine that Windows would not install. After 3 days of fighting with it we opened a case with MS. The FIRST thing they told us to do was to swap out the memory. We did and bingo Windows installed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Oresteen KG4SPA Montverde, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <libretto@basiclink.com> Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 5:55 PM Subject: [LIB] Fresh W98se on Older Toshiba > Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2005 17:53:56 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Fresh W98se on Older Toshiba > > A work colleague has been trying to install a fresh copy of W98se on his very old Tosh laptop with really bad results. No matter how the OS install is attempted - from CDROM using Setup, copying the CD to the HDD and running Setup, copying the CDROM and manually extracting the CAB files, using different W98se CDs - there is always a failure, usually related to an inability to find or copy files. > > The hard drive is reformatted before every install attempt. > > Does anyone have any thoughts on this? > > Thanks. > > Lee > >
