your boot sequence has to be

cd-rom
hdd 0 (or whatever)

otherwise it will never look for cd

LOL u two,who said anything about installing win98????? Shock Laughing I was talking about WIN98 Second edition STARTUP DISK which can be downloaded from the net because IMO it is the best startup disk and if u wanna get to real-DOS mode real quick,from where u can format/install win,flash bios and do whatever u want...and ofc that u will install winxp pro (on a clean formatted hdd) Happy Win98 is history Happy
When u format hdd use that startup disk,when u get to DOS mode go to "D:" where D should be the letter of your cd-rom (it can be E: or F: for example.Then type "dir" and locate the "I386" folder.When u see that folder type "cd I386" and then "winnt" all without the quotes.Your win will start installing and later u can choose if u want a NTFS system and so on.Sry if this was unnecessary i dunno how much knowledge u have about dos and his commands Happy
