Problems working with older systems

[k1n9k00p4]

Ok, Ive got this windows 98 machine here with a corrupt HDD leaving it unable to boot. What i want to do is format then reinstall Win98 (or just even reinstall) The machine also does not support booting from CD and the windows 98 boot floppy is no good.

How can i go about doing this?

is there some kind of bootable flopy that forcibly boots from cd?

kind of an emergency situation.

cheers, any help MUCH appriciated, me love you long time

Luke.

What's wrong with the Win98 boot floppy? Is it bad? If you need a new one, then just go to www.bootdisk.com

You can also create a floppy with the SMART boot manager that lets you boot from a CD.

And of course you can look for an updated BIOS with CD booting support.

Thank you Nodsu that SMART boot manager worked a treat and will really come in handy around here as there are a few older systems knocking around.

Thanks again.

Luke.
