i`m trying to install win 98se on a compaq desktop,, the harddisk( a 1.6 Gb
quantum)had windows 95 on it before, which i rebooted in dos and
formatted,,i also ran fdisk on the 98 start up floppy and deleted all
partitions as i suspected that there was a virus on the disk,then 98setup
did a format,,and starts the blue set up screen``enter to continue`` then
scan disk runs and then i get a blank screen with...Standard mode:fault
outside of ms dos extender.
 EC=0000 CS=0337 IP=C199 AX=0000 BX=0000 CX=0040 DX=FFFF SI=0000
 DI= 0000 BP=016E DS=036F ES=0000 SS=027F SP=0166
 Please romove any floppy disks from your drives and press any key to
restart your system.
   i tried another disk and it gave me the same message,,,i know that both
of these disks are ok,,so i guess its something i did with the fdisk
program..last week i did the same procedure on the compaq with a 4.3 gb disk
and that installed 98 ok..i cleared the cmos aswell to see if that
helped,,but no luck there,,,
  so if anyone can help i would really be grateful.
Thanks Paul
