Okay, Im trying to build a new system from scratch (Duron 650, Asus A7V, Mushkin 128MB HSDRAM, IBM Deskstar 15gbhd, Adaptec 2930u scsi card, HP 9200i CDRW, SBLive value, old STB 4400). The trouble I'm having is with installing Win98se. During boot up the system seems to recognize everything, but when I get to the win startup it loads the various drivers, then it comes up with the "preparing to start your computer" screen and gives me the following messages:

"Windows 98 has detected that drive C does not contain a valid fat or fat32 partition."
(And list several cause such as disk needs to be partitioned, 3rd party partitioning software etc.)

"The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to C Drive."

Then

"Device driver not found : 'mscd001'.
no valid cdrom device drivers selected "

I just a little lost as where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

make sure you load windows 98 on the ata-66 controler and not the ata 100. If you must have the adpaec card in there, then disable the onboard ata-100 controller has well. When you finally get into windows, load the latest via 4-1 drivers before install drivers for anything else.
