Windows 98 won’t start on new drive

by technopat . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

I upgraded a Pentium III from a 13 GB hard drive to 40 GB drive. UltraDMA66. I used the WD program EZ drive to copy the old hard drive. When trying to boot to the new drive alone it gives the Windows 98 logo screen and then goes through the startup files and into the c prompt. If the startmenu comes up and I choose safe mode it still goes to the c prompt. I can access files through Dos commands only. If I enter win it says invalid vxd dynamic link call from CDUDF(03) + 00000019D to device 048B service 1. If I then choose to continue with Windows, it says Windows configuration invalid. VFAT device initialization failed. How do I change Windows setup if I don’t want to change it from the old drive?
