I am attempting to do a clean install of Windows 98 SE from a CD-ROM. The installation goes smoothly until it’s time for the first reboot of the system (after plug and play hardware is detected, etc.). When the machine is rebooted, the Win 98 splash screen comes up, and then I get the following message:
“you started your computer with a version of MS-DOS incompatible with this version of Windows. Insert a startup diskette matching this version of Windows and restart.”
I inserted the original Win 98 startup diskette that came with the CD-ROM but the same message still came up. I have even tried to reformat the hard disk but I still have the same problem. Please help!
