My Windows 98 IBM ThinkPad Laptop

These errors are system options not set, and time/date not set (if I recall correctly off the top of my head)
Basically, you need to replace the CMOS battery.
I would order one online from a place like EVERCORP.com ( a link for YOUR battery is here... http://www.evercorp.com/catalog/batteries/Laptop/Laptop+CMOS/IBM/ThinkPad+600%2C+600D%2C+600E%2C+600X/CR2025-WR/ )
It will cost a lot of money though...almost $10 ! And there will be shipping on top of that, and the battery weighs almost a whole ounce!
If you can maybe second mortgage your house so that you can afford these hefty costs, the installation is almost as hard as the price is high.
Fear not though, installation instructions should come with the battery (which hides in the RAM compartment as I recall).
Once the battery is replaced, set the system options and the time/date, and you should never see that error again!

Yes, remove and replace the cmos battery...some can be unclipped and older ones can be unsoldered...

for registry error i don't think its required for replace the hard disk ... boot the laptop through win98 boot able cd and delete the all partition using fdisk command and try to install the os .............

Go to the IBM/Lenovo WEB site - support/download page and download the latest Windows device drivers for your model computer, Use this link :-

Go to the IBM WEB site www.ibm.com and click on Support and Downloads

First off this machine wasn't really designed for Windows 98. Here's a couple of links that may help. The first is for a bios update to fix a few system bugs. Keep in mind that the bios are VERY important and you don't want to screw them up, so, either download and create a diskette or download and save to the desktop before running. The second is for A21 drivers. You may want to download any utility drivers that run with Windows 98. Your current drivers may be for 2000 or XP, and may be creating a conflict.

Hi,

You did not include the specific model of your IBM Thinkpad.

Nonetheless, pls open a browser and go to Google. Type IBM "ThinkPad" (less the quotes), enter. On the next page, scroll down to the bottom and click "Search within results". On the new page, type "ABCD" (less the quotes) drivers. Replace ABCD with your ThinkPad's type number which can be found at the sticker at the bottom of the laptop. Next display would be the drivers for your model. Try and locate the page that says "Lenovo Support & Downloads......." or the "www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/.....

If for some reason you can not still find the drivers, pls post back the laptop's type number (4 digits)

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back as requested, how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
