    I have just purchased 2 brand new HP D230's Which came with XP preinstalled, i want to put the machines on win98, but when i format and repartition the drive to Fat32 and install windows 98 i get some problems. the main installtion all goes sweet as a nut untill the final reboot. the systems hang on the "Completed updating file. Comtinuing to load windows" and thats as far as it gets. Can anyone tell me where this is? and how can solve this problem.

    Cheers

    Does same thing happen on both computers?
    Are you loading 98FE, or 98SE?
    If 98FE is your processor better, then 2.1GHz?

    Perhaps you should use Delpart to make sure partitions are deleted. Sometimes there is a problem converting a drive from NTFS to FAT32.
