ok so i fried my hd... somehow the i/o subsytem corrupted and nothing worked.... i talked to howard, and he said i need a new hd.... fast forward... got a used hd at a local place, its a maxtor 2.0gb

anyways, formatted did all that stuff.... i start to run windows, and it somewhat works, windows does its mini load thing and has a progress meter with a percentage # shown.... just after 100%, i get an error window

what's wrong and how do i fix it?

 

WHat os are you running.

 

i am not currently running an os.. i am trying to load win98. the c drive is jumpered and setup properly as partitioned for being the primary master


also, i have used 2 different versions of windows 98 and also different cd drives to read them, and i get the same error message each time... is it possible my floppy a drive start disk is corrupt? if the start disk is corrupt, what can i do?

 

i dont think the start disk would be corrput. Maybe its a bad harddrive? The HD is completely reformatted correct?

 

yes i was able to reformat the hd

 

then i would have to go with a bad boot cd. didnt you say you had 2 copies? its unlikely that both wouldbe bad. ALso, Is the hd on one computer, meaning, there is no other slave on the comp?

 

google is your friend:

low level format it and try again.

 

its been fixed... the computer moderator on the othertruck site i belong to, walked me through it late this morning.... like over the course of 4 hours... hes in the UK, so it was daytime for him eventhough it was we hours for me.....
