Hi, I'm trying to re-install Windows98 and I'm stumped by the following:
My computer is a Dell labtop that can use either a cdrom or a floppy drive, but not both at the same time. You have to pull one out and replace it with the other.
I already cleaned out the C:\ drive.
When I boot up with the Windows startup disk, using the floppy drive, the driver for the cdrom drive fails because the cdrom drive is not there.
But then there is no way to use the cdrom drive to install Windows.
With my limited knowledge of Dos, I tried copying all the files from the startup disk onto the C:\ drive and then restarting the computer with the cdrom drive in place, but I still get a message saying invalid startup disk.
Any suggestions?
