after getting some weird registry file errors, i decided to do a clean reformat of my hard drive. Or so i thought... fdisk, delete partition, restart, create partition, set active partition, then format /s c: right?? Anyways after doing that i go to load windows 98 goes without a hitch. After installing some drivers for my graphics card, it gives me
"Windows Registry Checker
Windows encountered an error accessing the system registry. Windows will restart and repair the system registry for you."
BS..... restarted the computer and it goes through the Registry Checker, and says it fixed the problem. But once windows boots up it says
"c:\windows\system\.dat
this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
WTF!! Another thing is when i set my active partition, a box starts flashing and it says "boot sector is to be modified, y to accept any key to abort" as you might know i am a noob so please any help is greatly appreciated.
setup: Soyo p4x400 dragon ultra mobo
P4 2.4
512 pc2100
radeon 9700
soundblaster audigy gamer
wd 40 gig hard drive
only thing thats running integrated is my nic
I did try to do some registry editing before but decided to delete them. Everything still ran perfect though.
