I got this thing (with 128mb ram and a wiped 10gb hard drive) and after deciding over installing wither 95, 98, NT 4 or 2000 I decided on 98 because of the age of the system and 98SE is pretty much the last decent OS that still kinda sorta ran on top of DOS.
So I pop my 98SE disc in, disc spins up, I'm prompted to boot from either the CD drive or hard drive, I select the CD drive, I get a blinking cursor and the cd drive spins down and I can go no further.
Okay, what's up? I can't Floppy boot the installer (like I normally did in the past because the systems were too damn old to boot from a CD drive) because the floppy drive and the cd drive share the same PowerBay and I have no external floppy drive.
