Installing OS

by salgrn . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

attempting to install full version of win98 for a stand alone office pc which formerly had win95 on harddrive. with boot disk and cd completed a fdisk and formatted hard drive, first attempt initiated a suwin GFP error related to the sound card, second fdisk and formating and attempted install resulted in a suwin illegal procedure which microsoft has listed as a potential bios problem. Is it worth my time and effort to replace the harddrive, and remove sound card and attempt a new install, or is this machine toast??
