Hi Avok,

You did everything right but did you access the CD before trying SETUP? Sounds like you are useing the correct 98 STARTUP DISK. It will tell you the new letter for the CD. You must either X: enter then SETUP enter or type from DOS X:\SETUP enter. Where X is the present letter for the CD. SETUP exists on the root of the CD and also in the WIN98 folder of the CD. Either will get you going.

Good Luck, Jim

Hi Avok,

Glad you got it solved and thanks for the feedback. BIOS Antivirus option usually only asks you if you wrote in the MBR or if something else did. It usually doesn't bother you after you get past it.
