[Rahul_Arora_02]

I have formatted my hdd. and when i TRY to install windows 98b i get two errors. One will install windows and then when the pc reboots to "ready to run windows for the first time" begins, it just reboots.
Sometimes when I try to install windows, after the scandisk part it gives me and error saying MS-DOS extender error please reboot. HELP ME!!!!

One of the following perhaps:

HIMEM.SYS is unable to control the A20 line.

DOS=HIGH is not functioning properly (related to HIMEM.SYS control).

The RAM, static RAM (SRAM), single in-line memory module (SIMM), or dynamic RAM (DRAM) chips are not functioning properly.

You are running DR DOS.

The third-party memory manager is not configured correctly.

The EMM386.EXE NOEMS x=A000-EFFF line is missing from the Config.sys file.

You have an old, out-of-date ROM BIOS.

Your CMOS settings are incorrect.

Your Windows files are old or corrupted. To test this, create a new directory on the hard drive, and install Windows in that directory.

Your disks are corrupted.

Your system is infected with the Form, Forms, Noint, or Yankee Doodle virus.
