Windows 98 Install problems on modern machine

by salohcinsnave . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

Greetings!

Windows 98 hangs during the install process every time it tries to detect any plug n play devices/other hardware.

I have tried restarting the computer but when the windows 98 logo screen appears it just hangs again.

I wonder if this may be because I have very recent hardware?

Specs:

Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI SE
Processor: AMD Dual Core 4200
RAM: 1Gb
Graphics: Nvidia 6600 Geforce 512Mb
Sound: (built into motherboard)

I also have a a Creative DVD player, LG CD-Writer and a 40Gb Seagate Harddrive (non-scsi).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Oh by the way, I have succesfully installed Slackware Linux 10.2 on this machine without any problems, so that discounts my hardware being at fault.
