AboutMichael Troy Expertise I have lots of answers for problems with defrag, clock time, performance, system resources, problems with passwords, opening files, etc. I also probably know of a freeware/shareware application for anything you want to do: sharing Internet, firewalls, games, utilities, graphics, audio, etc.
Experience I am the Director of Information Systems for a large law firm. I handle all sorts of hardware and software problems for over 300 users who use Windows 95/98. I also have a home network of six computers.
Question I have an old IBM 600 laptop with window 95 in it. Tried to install the Window 98 SE into it. First I changed the BIOS so that the IBM will start up on the CD ROM (with the W98 SE CD). Then it asks if I want to start up with hard drive or CD ROM. After I choose the CD ROM, seems like the machine won't boot from or recognize the CD ROM. Now what should I try??
Answer Hi Bryan,
I don't think Win. 98 CD are bootable. What you want to do is create a Win. 98 boot floppy. You can download an image for one here:
Of course, you will need a working CD with a floppy drive to create it. Once that is done, you can boot from the floppy, then use the CD to install Windows 98.
