re: That wasn't it, not yet Monday, August 30, 2004 at 12:17 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2111 messages posted) I tried two things, one was to cross the drivers from my March, 2004 startup disk I got from Bootdisk then, with the other files from Microsoft's own disk. It worked the same as the March floppy did (claims that setup is a Windows-Only program). I know it worked in March, as that's when I put a new Hdd in my laptop and couldn't use the CD without a floppy, and my laptop is modular, so has only one or the other of those. I tried exactly the same thing as had worked then, copied everything from the floppy to the new PC's C:\ root -- and that also failed when going to the CD for setup where I get the message I shouldn't get about setup. >Just because it was easier to try it that way, I swapped a plain Acer-branded CD >ROM drive into the new PC's box to see if that Oak Sys driver would still go off >into La-La land when it started its "Mechanism #2" routine.
