THANKS!!! IT WORKED!!! I had to put the floppy drive in to get it to go to the BIOS, wouldn't do it with the CD-ROM in though. Installed 98 and it worked...but had a problem, the screen size was half the size it should have been it was like at 600x800 or something like that instead of the 1200x1000 or whatever it's supposed to be. Went to the screen properties and it didn't have the option to change the resolution or the color (stuck on 8-bit). I'm figuring I wiped out the driver or something when i formatted the hard drive???

Well it was way too small so i went ahead and installed XP again (even though that put me back at square one), and was able to change the screen resolution to the higher one but could only select 16-bit for the color instead of the 32 it used to be on. Looked ok though. I went to the dell site but couldn't find a video driver for it, don't even know if one exists...it's a Dell Latitude CPi...

Would really like to have 98SE on it because i'm using a Netgear Wireless Router with the Laptop but XP keeps kicking me off the internet, with 98 i never got kicked off...any advise on how to get my resolution back when using 98?
