Problem upgrading to 98se from 95

[buzzro]

I am trying to upgrade a computer for my dad from 95 to 98se. I only have a OEM win98se disk to install. If I put it in it trys to install but then says I need to buy an upgrade version. I've had problems trying to reformat because I can't get the 98se boot disk to access d: at start up. At this point I am considering remformating and hoping that the reason my boot disk won't work is because of 95. I need help in solving this problem. I only want to do this because I want to give my dad access to the internet but no one excepts this version of 95 anymore, and I can't find the 95 cd to upgrade it to there requirments.

Booting with a boot disk choosing "With CD-ROM support" creates a temporary drive and usually labels it D which moves the CD drive down to E.

Thanks but I tried that. I even tried moving cd to E as default. Still no change when I used boot disk and typed 1st, e: no luck, and then tried d: no luck. I tried different boot disks, 95, 98se, 98se w/cd-rom. The only boot disk that gives me an a: prompt was the 95 boot disk.

Thats only depends on the how many physical drives there is.

The windows 98se bootdisk should do the job for any OS.

might be that ur drive is nudged to F:
depends on if the hard drive, has partitions. if ur not sure check you settings in fdisk to see whats what if it does have a partition, then as i said the CD Rom drive will have nudge x amout of places.

Hope this helps

try downloading a 98 disk (google search :format banana) this is clever cos when you double click it copies to the floppy.
