I'm trying to fdisk my other cp, the book i got with windows 98se says to create a startup disk by putting in a floppy and labeling it windows98 startup disk .Is it vital to label it that ? there is no room for all those letters . when i put a floppy in and click start,settings,control panel,add/remove programs,startup disk ,and then create disk ,the progress bar goes to 16 percent and stops and tells me to put in a windows cd I put my install windows98 cd in but nothing happens ..The book doesnt say to put the cd in ,just to label the floppy so I was wondering if the label would stop this disk creating process..My computer is in such a mess I cant uninstall windows as too many files are missing or corupted ..
On my messed up computer I typed in fdisk to the files locating option in "start " and was taken to a dos page asking me about partitions ,no matter what I selected I got stopped because the partition ( or something or other was not locked) Is there a clue here . Someone on this forum told me how to get to old registries ,before that I could not even get to the desktop Icons ,just blank screen ...I think I'm making progress and it's kinda fun but I'm stuck ..
