Folks, I was just getting ready to load Win98SE on a neat little, AT set I just slapped together and when I insert the boot disk and start up it goes almost all the way through initial then I get "Disk I/O error - replace disk and press any key" I think that disk is corrupt. Any way that I can load Win98SE from the CD-ROM? Any help would be greatly appreciated!;)

If it's the Full Version of Win98SE, and not an upgrade disk, you should be able to boot from it!!

I believe there's a utility to create the floppy boot disk from the CD. Otherwise, you can grab one from bootdisk.com

No sweat man......;)

And Ladi is right! bootdisk.com is great for this as well, if your CD is not a bootable one...:)
