I never realized how many things I didn't know until I started putting this my first try at building a PC together. So far I have new case with 320 watt PS, KK266 MotherBoard, 1.13 Tbird with factory heat sink and fan, a 256 MB PC133 DIMM, Prime Peripherals 10x DVD, ancient Teac 1.44 floppy (red stripe goes toward power connector and must use master connection instead of slave), with 2 Quantum IDE drives, 20 GB master primary and 2.1 GB master secondary (with DVD as slave).
Problem is that I can't get any of the Windows 98 CDs going. TurboLinux on CD worked fine (except I am sure I screwed up some step), but my W98se update, and my slightly less official looking W98 full install, both give a can't boot error, put in a good disc and hit return. My old W95 boot floppy works great, but I can't figure out any drive letters for my Hard drives. dir c: gives me invalid drive message.
Help
I have downloaded a boot98SE.exe, but haven't run it to make the boot floppy (no working PC was handy). I have also downloaded a page of instructions from Microsoft on transfering the 98SE CD to the harddrive before running it.
