![]() So as you no, my new PC arrived and I'm got everything transferred over from the old PC. Someone want to buy the old one from me so this morning I created a startup disk (Win 98SE). Booted from it and formatted the hard drive. Now all I want to do is load Windows 98SE onto the Hard Drive so I can sell it. |

![]() I can't believe it. Thats exactly what I tried about 3 times this morning. E: return setup return. And It kept coming up with "Needs Windows". So I've just tried another CD of Windows 98SE and done the same thing and its working. I must have got a crap copy of windows thats got something missing or something. Anyway, the good news is, I'm not as dumb as I thought and its installing now with the decent CD that works. |

![]() Are you sure you're not running the WIn 98 SE UPGRADE version...if so, that is why it says it needs windows, cause it wants to upgrade 98 to 98 SE. You need to get the full installation version, and then when you do it, just to make life easier on your firned who is buying the hard disk, on the CD there should be a directory called 'Win98' or something similar. This is all the installation files again. Copy that to the hard disk, so if your firned installs any new hardware, he/she doesn't have to stick the same cd you installed windows from (it has to be the same CD, copy protection you see) into the CD-ROM drive just to get it to install the new drivers, cause they're already contained in the Win98 directory. |

![]() Hey can I do this to transfer directories to my new logical disk (partition)? That way I wouldn't have to reinstall everything just because I want to move it to more spacious disk>.. |
