REM tag problems...

KayinStorm · 01-May-04, 02:15 PM

Some dumbass wrote a REM tag into this install of 98 that precludes changing any optical/HDD type devices. So, when I put a DVD/CDRW in it, it refuses to see the drive. Any suggestions?

Get a Win98 boot disk, boot the coputer from the floppy, start installation manually.

EDIT: You mean during installation, or am I just being totally inadequate?

No, in Windows it has no CD, In BIOS it does.

Have you tried the "Add New Hardware" wizard?

KayinStorm · 01-May-04, 03:00 PM

Yup, done it.

unholy · 01-May-04, 03:04 PM

OK, here's another one. Is the device type in BIOS set to CDROM or AUTO?

KayinStorm · 01-May-04, 03:41 PM

We're reinstalling Windows. It was set up on a proprietary, use our stuff or no work policy. The store that did it is out of business now because of it.

Serves them right.
