A small problem

[camaro]

I just installed win98 on my old pc again and it starts like it did when I was installing windows. It aks to pick from a menu. 1.w/ cd support 2. no cd support....then asks for boot disk....then windows starts normally. I did install it in a rush. How can I get rid of that menu?

[Hellmund]

In your rush did you forget to take out the Win98 start-up disk?

I do that all the time, forget to take the disk out after an install.

"What the..."

"DOH!"

Well, it asks for it when it starts windows. Then boot normally.

Do you have a weird drive configuration, like a SCSI/IDE raid/ATA66/100 controller or something? Is your hard drive listed as a boot drive in your pc's bios?

Sounds like either the PC thinks the A: drive is the only valid boot device at startup...that or Windows does.

You do not have any remnants from a multiple boot utility on your drive do you? Have you ever had Linux installed on that drive? If so, you will have to use a zero utility like wipe or zap to remove the Linux signature from the MBR sector.

Then again, you could have a connfig file being loaded by windows that references something in the 'A' drive.
