I need to run a computer on Win 98 for a sound program.
I have an HP Pavilion a1410y. I like this machine; however It was running Win XP on a single HD which had 90% partitioned to C drive under NTFS and 10% as D drive under FAT32.
I was able (with my mac) to erase/reformat drive as FAT32 - as Win98 will not function under NTFS format.
I have an older HP Pavilion 6630 and placed the HD in this machine to install (from recovery discs) WIN98 on the drive. it functions in the older 6630.
HOWEVER, when I place it in the Pavilion a1410y I get this:
1. Blue screen (from which I can go to boot menu, Bios, recovery)
2. Then a DOS prompt - Invalid System disk, replace the disk and then press any key.
If I try to enter system recovery - it will not locate the disks in the CD drive. BIOS is able to identify the HD and CD drive.
now what!!!???
