QUOTE(ryan_73 @ Jul 30 2004, 4:08 AM) since the computer has windows NT, the drive probably has an NFTS partition. windows 98 can't be installed on an NFTS partition. you'll have to repartition the drive to FAT32 using the appropriate software and then you can install windows 98. what you do is FORMAT the HD and then install windows all over again.. |
