Thanks y'all for the replies
A couple of questions
- How can I tell if the disk is Fat16? The C:drive is 3GB.
- I did Fdisk the E: drive and try to format it, but Windows would NOT format it 'bad sectors' or similar, I think it said.
I have tried dropping the Sec IDE cable off, leaving just a C:drive and CD rom, but W98 still willnot install, saying on first rebbot that it needs a bootable disk.
Strangely enough, the MSDOS mx has 'disappeared', and now I am getting an incorrect size display during boot for the D (15 Gb and the E(40GB). Both showing as 100+GB! C drive shows as ok.
I'm beginning to wonder if the CMOS battery is at fault? The board is only just over 1 year old, though.
