[Warvorine]

hi there guys. i have been trying to install windows on a computer with windows 98 in it and couldnt.

so i decided to format both the hard drives and they were formated succesfully. now the problem is that i can't seem to be able to install windows even now. the only thing i have not yet tryed is to take a hard drive from a working computer and put it into the trouble sum one.

can anyone please give me a list of things to try, because i have tryed all that i know.

i need help.. so please help me ergently.

by the way, thank you in advince.

what stops you from installing, is it that you can't boot using the windows cd? or is it an error during installation ? or is the cd not detected ? ..
please clarify,
thanks.

I may be grasping far here, but are you trying to install windows Vista, 7, or 8 on a machine that had Windows 98 installed?

It's quite possible that the hardware is just too old, but then again, I could be grasping.

I agree - if you are trying to install vista, win 7 or 8 on a machine that had win 98 installed on it it is almost certainly that there is not enough memory in the machine.

But, because you never did say what your exact problem was (error messages, etc) other than the generic couldnt install - I cannot be 100% sure that out of memory is the main reason for being unable to install
