Ago I just formatted the hard drive with one partition and installed WIN98SE, 4.10 2222A. When the program boots it gets to the initial screen and then crashes the system. It has never really fully installed itself. Just prior to the boot to windows I get the error message: There is an error in your config.sys file on line 2 There is also another warning that states: The following file is missing or corrupted: A:\VIDE-CDD.SYS. The machine will boot in a safe mode. Any help would be appreciated. Happy Holidays!

If you have the file... Copy it to the root directory of the hard drive Edit your config.sys line 2 to read... DEVICE=C:\VIDE-CDD.SYS If you do not have the the file or the ability to edit the config.sys then... Here is a file with what you can use to replace your startup... It includes generic CD Rom Drivers Unzip these to a floppy and copy them to the root of the non-working PC.. Replace any existing files... and reboot Attachments Logger.zip (78.97 KB) 0 Discussion Starter Logger 11 Years Ago Thank you kindly for you assistance. I did as you said with the zipped file and put them in the root (C) directory. I made sure that they were there and also made sure that the second line in the config.sys file addressed that the files were in the root i. e. DEVICE=C:\VIDE-CDD.SYS. I then rebooted (no errors this time) and when the program went to update the system files it got partially through that and then closed the windows opening page and reverted back to DOS with the message: Windows Protection Error - Press any key to restart program. So, it appears that something else in going on. At present I'm reinstalling the entire WIN98SE but do not hold out for any success. Thanks for your talents.
