WHAT???!!!!???? ME? PANIC???!!? .....er...I mean...What? Me? Panic?.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

yep all three disks have errors. So does that mean my floppy in this computer is making bad disks? I can make one on my sisters computer tomorrow if that is the problem.
ya think?

BINGO! What are you using? Old reformatted AOL disks?? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ That might be a good idea to do it on your sister's computer. Buy a fresh floppy disk(s). You also may have a bad lot of floppies you got there, or your present computer is pooping on you https://discussions.virtualdr.com/. May want to clean the drive with a cleaner floppy.

EDIT: Now if this is going to have to wait until tomorrow, be aware that I'll not be able to "check in" all that often during the day. Can when I can. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

A floppy that cleans, may explain some problems I had a month ago. Good tip.

WELL good THEN IT'S NOT MY NEW ONE!!!

OK I'll do that in the morning.
Hey! Don't be bad mouthin' this computer just yet. He can stil hear, ya know. Gotta be able to get here! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Thanks guys, night ! I'll reread this. Didn't mean to ignore you ! Had sumpthin' else on my mind. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I know you are wore out bistro. I have a headache!
BIOS headache. Glad THATS over anyhow.

Thanks bistro for sitcking with me.
See you in the morning. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

You are most welcome. Had a good time (aahhhhh...the Valium is just starting to kick in....ooooooo). We'll get that thing up and running yet. Hey, at least you know the CPU, RAM, mobo and video are working https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Mosaic,
Yes they were new. I'll get a new batch before I make the new one's.

I popped one in here and it showed everything on it. I've never cleaned it but I hardly ever use it. It's an antique remember.

That's ok bistro. I have to work tomorrow too. Maybe if I get a break I'll sneak up here and work on it.

See ya.

Night all!

Goo' Nite. Time for my beauty sleep. *Can't understand why it hasn't worked for the past twenty years though....*

Morning All, Looks as though everyone made it. Plumb wore me out just watching. Hey, remember way back the comment was made about bringing one up with no smoke. Qoh did it. We're all going to have to reread yesterday. I agree with Train, couldn't keep up. Just one small question. How do you type and build at the same time time? Awesome. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Will change over tonight. Later and be well.

Good morning, Jim. Your mission, should you decide to accept it is to....*Oops! Wrong forum....*

Good Morning, All. QOH, want to clarify something----are you using a full version Win 98 CD or an upgrade version? If the latter, you'll need a copy (any copy--doesn't have to be yours) of Win 95. And you will need the serial number of the Win 98 CD--won't install without it! (Don't need the serial for the Win 95 CD if you are going to use it for the 98 installation).
Oh, and do a scandisk on that new Win 98 Startup floppy you're making at your sister's place. If it's clean, and you still get that I/O error message, then we've narrowed the problem down to the actual floppy drive. May want to pick up a cleaning floppy kit at the store. (Can find them at Walmart, Kmart, Radio Shack, etc). Remember to follow the fdisk/format walkthrough I sent
you. Pretty basic. After doing it a couple of times, you'll be an expert at it https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
It'll take around 30 minutes to install Windows---during the setup, you'll be asked to confirm the time/date and time zone, etc.
You want to do the "Typical" installation when asked---can customize it later.
I'll be ready with my Jack Daniels, Rolaids, etc. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

QOH's sister here. (Younger, I might add) Just thought you all would like to know, she came by here a bit ago and made a boot disk. I also found one for Windows 98 SE that came from the factory and sent her home with that one. Hopefully one of these will help. I don't think I've ever seen her this excited. I have lots of faith in her abilities. Never seen her NOT accomplish anything she sets her mind to. Guess you might say she's a Jane-of-all-trades and a mistress-of-many. (trades, that is) Just thought you all would like to know since you've been so supportive. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Well, Howdy there, Texas Angel! Welcome to VDr--but you're not telling us anything "new" about QOH https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ She's already demonstrated that determination--actually quite proud of her. Stayed tuned...after she runs that 3DMark2000 benchmarking program, you'll need restraints to quiet her down.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
