Unable to install Windows 98
I have just created one partition on an old computer and format the hard
drive. Now I am unable to install Windows 98. I received this message: This program cannot be run in DOS mode. I partitionned in one partition and FAT32. I used FDisk to do it. What can I do now ? Thanks, |

Did you boot from the CD or manually run something from the command prompt? The proper file to run is \win98\setup.exe BTW, the install will go faster if you first create a "Win98" folder on the HDD, then copy the contents of same folder on the CD into it, finally running it from the hard drive.
