SU0013 on Win98 Install
I have a machine with win95 and a partitioned hard drive (2 partitions each about 50%). I wanted to intall win95 on it. I formatted the drive and installed 98 - no problem. But I discovered that only half of the hard drive was recognized (the first partition, I assume - there were two). Since the whole drive is only 3.6 GB I wanted to be able to access the whole thing - not just one half.
It was suggested that I use FDISK to remove the second partition. I did but the re-install still did not see the whole drive. It was then suggested that I use a program called PARTITION RESIZER to re-partition the whole drive. That was done.
However, now I cannot install win98 at all. Either the install hangs in the "Preparing to run Win 98 Setup" or I get the "su0013" error. Searching the net I see that the use of a third-party partitioning software (such as EZ Driver or Disk Manager) causes this problem. Could Partition Resizer also cause this problem>
The suggested work-around I keep seeing says to install from the \win98\ directory on my win98 CD rather than my win98 boot disk. This does not work either.
Additionally, I can still see the two partitions through DOS. The C partition has COMMAND.COM and what looks like the beginning of WIN98 files on it; the D partition is labeled MS-RAMDRIVE and has COMMAND.COM, EDIT.COM, FORMAT.COM, etc on it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help with this install?
