Hi:
Use a different 98 startup floppy.
Be sure to set bios to defaults.
make sure win98 disk (CD) is in good shape
use a new 98 floppy to fdisk, forMAT c: , setup.
command interpreter should be something like win.com or windows.com
put the floppy in and reboot.
go to www.bootdisk.com to make a new floppy.
maybe your install needs to be doine again (50 minutes, what have you got to loose).
