My brain has deserted me.
Windows 98 setup is on drive C
How do I install windows 98 on drive D?
Rhetorical question.
How long does it take to format a 300 GB drive?
Too long.
30 minutes and only 30%:eek:

Windows 98 for a specific reason.
Windows 98 setup files are on a bootable USB drive as my CD drive is not working.
I boot into dos and am trying to set it up from there.
As I said my brain has gone0 -
Setup.exe if I recall.
Curious, whats the reason for 98? Some old software that works on it?[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
[/greenhighlight][redtitle]
The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -
quick format takes seconds
format d: /q/s
then xcopy the win98 files from flash drive to a directory on d
eg
md d:\win98
xcopy c: d:\win98 /s/e/v
then reboot without the flash drive and install.!!

Setup.exe if I recall
yes I know but it keeps on trying to install it on the same drive it is on which is C
I want to install it on my hard drive which is coming up as D
no matter what I put in the dos command line it always installs it on C0 -
quick format takes seconds
format d: /q/s
The disk was NTFS and it doesn't like quick format. And I did FDISK it.0 -
