Setup Attempts to Install on Second Hard Disk
This article was previously published under Q202425
When you perform a "clean" installation of Windows 98, Setup may attempt to install Windows on the second hard disk.
This behavior can occur if you connect a second hard disk that has Windows 98 installed to your computer.
To work around this problem, select the proper drive and during Windows 98 Setup.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
Setup may also obtain the hardware settings from a Windows 98 installation on the second hard disk.
A "clean" installation of Windows means either installing Windows on a
blank hard disk, or installing Windows in a folder other than the folder in
which an existing version of Windows is installed.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
