Hi all,
this is a great forum--very helpful people!
I will be helping a friend with his Win98 SE machine with 64 MB ram --he's getting ready to donate this machine and reformatted the hard drive, and reinstalled Win98 SE. The problem is that he cannot successfully boot off the hard drive; he gets as far as the Win98 splash screen and then the system shuts down. He tried booting off a floppy, but was not successful---he said that the system reassigns drive letters(??). My apologies for not having more accurate information to post as I have not had access to the machine yet.
I plan to look at the machine tomorrow and would appreciate any suggestions of where and how to start the troubleshooting process.
Mahalo,
