um...yeah...i got a Win98SE install problem.
So anyways we are using these Panasonic toughbooks (CF-25) for use in some of the vehicles here at work. Well before I stepped into this little project they used to run Win95 someone upgraded them to Win98SE with out doing a format. These little computers are Pentium's with 1.3GB HD and 72MB of RAM. With a swapable floppy drive and CD-ROM. So enter me into the picture. I comment on how I can wipe the PC's giving them a fresh start. Well I formatted them from a boot disk and when I went to put in the CD ROM and the Win98SE CD it dosen't do anything...There is no splash screen in the beginning that says Panasonic and I cannot enter the BIOS to see if the stupid thing even sees the CD ROM. The Win98SE splash screen shows for like a split second and then asks me to press F1 to continue. Please somone out there must be able to help?? Thanks!!!
so the message i typed didn't appear
I have since done this to three more computers wiht much success. I have this one laptop that still has Win95 on it. I formatted it with the Win95 boot disk from bootdisk.com and again like before I cannot get the CD-ROM to work. I was wondering if there is some different procedure for Win95??
i don't think the previous post worked
I had three successful reformats with this help...but i have a pc that was never upgraded to Win98. It had win95 on it...I formatted it and tried to follow the instructions but that do not work. Is there different instructions for machine that had Win95??? Thanks!
