Sorry folks, I've found about 4 or 5 messages sitting on Yahoo for a few
days that I did not catch. I am forwarding them now. Better late then
never.

Whenever you create a new partition, the new partition has to be
formatted for use.
In the dos prompt type format d:\ /s
Leave the spaces as they are.
You may have to have the boot disk in the floppy and be in the A:> drive
prompt.
Once that's done, move the files you want onto it.
Then do a clean install of the OS.
From what I've heard, it's a total nightmare using the upgrading method.
You should do a full new install of win98.
Or totally reformat the c:\ drive, install win95 then immediately do the
upgrade.
Also check and make sure the d: drive is not an ntfs type. It should be
at least FAT16. For 98, it should be FAT32.

Hi john thank you. I went ahead and formated my cdrive but now I'm
having trouble installing windows again.
I'm upgrading my computer so I went from an IWILL with a 400 ghz
processor to now a MSI with a AMD XP processor.
I have a Win95 CD that I'm bringing up to an upgrade to Win98.
When I installed win95 it tells me that "setup found a compressed
volume or a disk-cashe utility on your computer, quit setup and
remove... I think it said to remove the device.
I went ahead and installed win95 but it wouldn't boot so I went ahead
and installed win98 which gave me the same error, I was figuring it
was talking about the d drive that is on there.
I'm now getting the messages when I start my computer that there is
no array and that windows isn't finding a ton of DLL's.
Any idea on what is going on???
