Before you boot from that W98 floppy, on another PC create these 2 files:
autoexec.txt with only one line:
c:\dos\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:E
config.txt with these lines:
device=c:\dos\himem.sys /testmem
ff -->> /testmem: off without space after testmem:
device=c:\dos\oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
files=30
buffers=10
dos=high,umb
stacks=9,256
Copy both .txt files to your W98 bootfloppy.
Boot from the W98 floppy, you will be in
A:>
Type in each of the following lines, and hit the Enter button:
c:
md dos
cd dos
copy a:mscdex.exe
copy a:himem.sys
copy aakcdrom.sys --> copy a: oakcdrom.sys without space after a:
cd \
copy a:xcopy.exe
copy a:smartdrv.exe
copy a:autoexec.txt
ren autoexec.txt *.bat
copy a:config.txt
ren config.txt *.sys
Take the floppy out, switch off, put the CDdrive in and reboot from harddisk
(you DID format c: /s, didn't you?)
You will be in C:> now, with CD-support.
Put the W2K cd in.
type in
smartdrv and hit enter
type in
xcopy e:\*.* d: /s /e and hit enter
where e: is the cdrom and d: is the small formatted partition
That copies the W2K contents onto the D-drive.
When done, take the CD out and type/hit enter:
d:
cd i386
winnt
and you are on your way.
