what do you mean by
do you mean windows does not work, or that the computer physically does nothing when pressing the power?

if it is the first, simply go into your bios and place the cd drive in the first slot and harddrive second, and place the cd in the drive and reboot. This will allow you to install without the boot floppy.

boot disk
 

it is an older computer and the bios keps changing how can set it tell me step by step and where i can find a boot disk

your windows cd will allow you to format the drive before installing, just start the install process and then format before installing.

*The bios does not change, it has onboard memory to hold the information you supply it, which isn't much. If you change the boot order and it reverts back, the only possible problem is that your battery is dead, simply replace it (it looks like a large watch battery).

start up probleem
 

the computer has an older bios which you set for slave and so on it keeps saying there is no a drive and when i set it to recognize the a drive and i turn of the computer it changes again it says v1.4 bios version i think can anyone help me when i put the cd in it does nothing but say invalid system disk what could be wrong i feel i need a start up disk and i am using a public computer i would need to save it to a floppy disk
:confused:

is there a floppy in the drive? it will attempt to read it and assume it is a system disc. If there is a floppy in there pop it out and reboot. I do not know of a non-zipped boot disc, but if this is not the problem i'll host a copy for ya.

the light for the floppy does not come on also i take the disk out and use the cd for windows 98se but that does not work either i figure it i had a start up disk i could format the hard drive and reinstall windows also sometimes it say cmos battery failure and cmos defaulst loaded it is an older computer so if you can get a start up disk and email it to me at [email protected] and tell me how to copy it to a floppy that might solve the problem :confused:

yes like wilson say , go to the bios and look for boot sequence,
then make cd-ron the first option to boot in the bios, acept the change and put your SE cd on tray and reboot that should do it

I didn't really get that one...

If you have a CD Drive, then you could create a Bootdisk from the Win98 CD.
Otherwise download the files and copy it to your floppy. -> http://masterbootrecord.de/files/bootdisks/wboot98.exe
