Hi, Im trying to get my new Hardrive up and running and I've came to a dead halt.
I'm trying to install windows 98SE.
I inserted the boot disk and selected "1/ start with CD-ROM Support".
I then ran fdisk selected option "1" all the way through;
Enable Large Disk Support- I selected yes, then
1/ Create Primary DOS Partition
Do You wish to enable maximum available size for primary DOS Partition - Yes.
I was then prompted to Esc and restart my system.
This is where I hit the problem.
When I restart it goes through the normal BIOS screen then the following message is at the bottom of the screen,
Verifying DMI Pool Data....
Missing Operating System
From here I get nothing no command prompt, I am absolutely at a loss.
I've cleared CMOS, tried various permutations in the BIOS of getting the Floppy and CD-ROM to boot first nada, zilch not a sausage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My system
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
Abit KG7-lite
256mb PC2100 DDR RAM
IBM Deskstar 60GXP 40GB
Creative GeForce 2 titanium
Videologic Sonicfury
The BIOS is;
Award Modular BIOS V.6.00PG
