i have a pc with win98se and win2kpro.
when i hit F8 i get a menu to select various options including "safe mode".when i select safe mode i get another menu that asks which operating system i want to boot to.
[also says "safe mode" in blue writing at the bottom of the page] when i select windows98,it just boots to regular windows and not safe mode.Is there a trick to get windows 98 to boot up in safe mode?
Also:if you have ever booted into safe mode on a 98 machine,i am sure you have found "ghost" devices[devices that were uninstalled in the past and dont show up in device manager untill you boot up in safe mode]I am trying to install a UDMA[maxtor/promise card] 100 pci controller.
windows 2000 had no problem with the install,works fine.
But windows 98se wont assign a drive letter to the hard drive.[yes it is properly formatted]I think the problem is "ghost" devices that need to be removed from the hardware[device manager] section and i need to get to safe mode to do that. Thanks for any help.
