I had a CD ROM the other day, that would blow
the install after about the 2nd reboot. Some
Cheap CD ROMs will drop certain .cab files during
an install. They'll work fine for most things
but not a fresh install...
Also, I've had to run fdisk on several drives
before attempting to install Windows 9X on several
machines. For some reason, some low level formats
will not address the boot sector or will leave
"something" that it doesn't like.
It's probably a waste of time in some cases, but I
nearly always fdisk before an install.
Hope this helps
