    Windows 98 startup disk

    I'm formatting and reinstalling everything on a mates comp... ive tried to create a startup disk in 98 itself but it buggers up like most things on the comp do!! Hence the format and reinstall!!

    Someone told me about right clickin on A:\ and create boot disk that way.. did that...

    Have tried rebootin the comp and it either didnt recognise the disk or gave me and I/O error.... now i'm annoyed!! :mad:

    Is there anywhere i can download a startup disk or some other method of creating one?!

    If your getting an IO error you might wanna double check your floppy drive connections. I reckon your floppy drive is fooked.
    Anyway, why don't you just change your boot sequence to look at the CD first. It's bootable and has everything you need.

    I know it is.... and would if i could....

    There's no handy message when it boots up sayin press DEL to enter setup.. it just skips through it all v fast and starts runnin windows!!

    And why does it say "Warning, cover previously removed!" each time the comp is switched on??? Is that some kind od Dell built in feature?! :D
