Install problem

uposb4 · 05-04-2008, 04:30 PM

I just did a hd format and it went fine. when i put in the boot floppy and restart i get the invalid system disk insert and retry notice. How do i get around this so i can install win98se? Thanks.

Make sure the floppy drive is given first Boot priority. You can do that either through changing the Boot Device order in BIOS or by doing a one-time Boot Select (look for a prompt to press an F-key during POST).
