Hi,
Your question is not very clear.
-If you want a fresh install of the Win98 you don't need a temp dir or MS-DOS boot partition. Use a Win98 CD and boot from it or use a Win98 boot diskette (www.bootdisk.com):create the partitions with "fdisk", format the partitions with "format".
-If you want a dual boot system with MS-DOS and Win98 you can't, but Win98 emulate MS-DOS and you can use only Win98.
Give me more detail (in a comment) if you want additional info.

the computer has a message saying: please wait while setup initializes. scanning system registry... cannot create a temporary directory. if you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partitionto set up windows. i have a caviar 22500 hard drive. im trying to upgrade from win 95 to 98se. sorry i don;t know what other info to give you . i'm new to this. thanks for helping so far. greg

do you have a win95 start-up disk? If not get a blank 1.44mb floppy. Start-up windows95, go to the Start button, go to setting select control panel, select add/remove programs, select start-up disk, and fallow the directions. reboot with the floppy. from there select your cd drive letter and type setup. Sit back and enjoy your installation, take about and hour.

have you tried running the setup from the windows explorer in win95? Put the win98 cd in the cd-drive, then double click on my computer, then double click on the cd-drive, then double click on setup.exe. If your just trying to upgrade, you should be able to start setup this way. It will then reboot the pc & setup should start. Just a thought but I hope it helps,

Brad
