It was designed for win 98 or win nt. the only thing I can access is the directory of A: and C:even got 98 setup on cd , it wouldn't install in dos mode. formats from floppy fine but goes back to existing problem.all the devices function properly. the cdrom driver even loads from boot disks.

You were absolutely right it finally began to load win 98 first edition
but 28% of install it froze I believe it's a hard drive issue but finding a hd with such low capacity mighe be difficult

MasterIt may only be compatible with a specific Windows, such as Windows 95 and cannot work on a newer OS. Or it may be the other way around, and it needs Windows ME or newer to function.

If it was designed for win98, then it may not work on 98 2nd edition or anything past the original win 98.
