trying to install Win 98se on a Maxtor 200gig HD running on a DFI Lanparty nforce4 ultra motherboard with the intention of then upgrading to Win XP Pro. being aware of the partition problem with fat32 and larger harddrive sizes, i created a partition of 30gig and set it active and then formatted. the Win98se files copy fine, but upon reboot the system hangs on the "Preparing to Run Windows for the First Time" screen.
Any ideas? all hardware appears to be running fine. all new equipment that passes tests in BIOS.
Thank you for your time
