I'm trying to install 98SE.
First, a brief description of where I am at. I have 3 systems networked running W2K with NTFS. I recently upgraded to 2K in December. I was running 98SE prior to that. As I began to reinstall my software I found that some of my apps would not run on 2K. In particular, PC Anywhere and WinFax. I use PC Anywhere to access my dad's computer when he is having problems. I know I can get other or upgrade my software. As far as WinFax was concerned, I thought I'd get around that when I built my 3rd system and use my HP Officejet 600. The Officejet software I downloaded for 2K does not seem to work. I can print but the fax and scanning software says that I have no printer or it is not connected.
There is absolutely nothing on the 3rd. system that I need. It is a PII 450 with a 60 GB master and a 10GB slave. I reformatted my master to Fat 32 and when I tried to install 98 I got the message that I have NTFS and cannot install. I ran fdisk /mbr and reformatted again. Same results. 2K is now reinstalled. I would like to put 98 on and then 2K but I'm at a loss on how to get around the NTFS being reported when it is formatted Fat 32.
Thanks for any help,
Bill
