I have no cd-rw. I think the problem is that my cd-rom is not bootable, I
have tried three different floppy boot disks, including one from www.bootdisk.com
I have both a win98 and win95 disk, but neither will load. Either with the
gui install or though the loadwindowsCD command, the both die at 50% with
file not found.
I continue to work with support, I'll give it a couple more days then resign
myself to rebooting every day for a while more.
Thanks for the help
