    I'm trying to re-install Windows 98 on an old packard bell machine. The PC originally came with Win98 but I took it off for linux. Anyway, when I reinstall 98, I boot up and it goes setting up personal settings for IE 4 but then it freezes and wont budge? Whats a guy to do?

    Thanks

    Did you format the HDD before reinstalling Win 98?

    Yep I selected quick format on the install disk. Any idea what the 'OS only' options for? Does that just mean there'd be no calculator, MS Word or apps?

    copy the media to c:\win98 and run the install from there
    that way you'll find out if the cd is scratched
    delete the folder with CS3 and all that other crap in it too

    had a look last night but couldn't find the modified .inf file that allows you to install without IE4 , it's not 98lite but something similar
