Windows 98 Install Error

Post by hurenBock »

:evil: damn this freakin bullshit

i tried to install win98 as a second OS on my pc for the older games like mortal kombat

and right at the start of the installation i get a message

that sounds like (i translate that as good as i can because its in german)


"strange ms dos files found"
(i believe this is the winXP installation)

then i can choose between delete files and i can choose that the files stay

but mhhhhhh i tried both options lol........and well both dont work because i get a message then i never heard before

"not enough avaible memory cannot load COMMAND"

and the setup cancel`s WTF is this ! ? plz help me

oh one thing more im using 2 HD`s but one of them i dont know how to explain but in partrition magic the second HD is BAD

i cant choose that HD all that stands there is "BAD"
i cant do nothing with this HD i cant convert change the size etc nothing
i already discovered that a year ago but i never mind about that

maybe someone knows what i mean and what i can do

Perhaps it´s because it´s formated in NTFS????

Vielleicht weil die Platte in NTFS Formatiert ist???

was , ahm what :lol:(good to know 4 languages :P ) o and you can convert your hdd back to fat32 but to do this you need the win xp instalation disk (the one with the cd-auto start you know , you use the cd like a autostart disk )
, after you run you comp from this cd in the menu pick the format option to fat32 - simple isn`t it :P :roll: , o and then you sinply run the win install on the partition with fat32 , little tip win 98 will not detect a disk with ntsc ...

more question just ask ... will be happy to help
