hardisk prob

by hoayfern . Updated 25 years ago

Hi,

currently i have purchase a new hardisk IBM 30.7 GB.

because my PC doesn’t have CD-ROM, so i try to install the Win98 by using another PC with CD-ROM.

I successfully install the WIN98 by using the PC with CD-ROM.

after that i try to put the hardisk into my PC which is without CD-ROM.

after that i reboot the system, it said that cannot detect any primary master hardisk. after that the naother error messages:
error boot disk failure, please insert boot disk.

i try to insertthe boot disk, the error message “disk contains invalid FAT32 partitoon.and etc”

i try to type command c: and it doesn’t contains the WIN98 files at all.

i have some questions:
1)how can install win98 into the PC without CD-ROM ? i mean by network installation. please show me the steps clearly.

2)May I know what are the problems causes above prob ??

3)did you have any idea how can i solve the prob, i try few hardisk, the same error comes out. this time the hardisk is new . i try toput the hardisk into the PC with CD-ROMand it works, the WIn98 can run smoothly.

4)is above error causes by CMOS setting but i didn’t change any CMOS setting at all

5) i try to put the CD-ROM into my PC , i can use the CD-ROM in win98, but when i use the setup disk to boot the system, i try to find the cdrom, it said that no driver was loaded and i can’t setup from the CD-ROm.
how can i use the cdrom in DOS ??
please assist
