Tommy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Have you actually succeeded in getting Windows 98 installed on this machine at all? Or at you still stuck at setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeypearce Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just stuck, still, on the second half (where the machine reboots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farfigs11 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 sounds like BIOS doesn't like something-with the fact you have to coax it to continue.For what's it's worth, I'm using a dimension 3000 right now in 98se which has pretty close specs to the 4600 but probably a totally different BIOS. Also had to install with "p i" switch otherwise all the resources were taken by ACPIBIOS settings: HD is on primary ide master and cd is secondary master. 256mb aperature. disabled legacy usb I'm using the onboard Intel Extreme graphics 2 with 8mb shared memory.I think I installed with 1gb ram-usually what I do.

Tommy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just stuck, still, on the second half (where the machine reboots).Does the second part actually finish or does it get hung up while detecting hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeypearce Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 It doesn't hang when it detects hardware. It hangs when it installs programs to the start menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Go into Safe Mode via F8 before 98 starts to boot. *If* you do get into safe mode, right click my computer on the desktop, go to properties. Click on the Performance tab. Click on File System. Click on the troubleshooting tab. Check "disable all 32-bit protected mode disk drivers" click ok and then reboot into normal mode. See if setup will finish properly now. If it does, you might just need Rloew's SATA patch. My current project computer even with using IDE and an IDE hard drive, it still required the SATA patch to work perfectly. But try that and see if you get anywhere because the third part of setup does act strange if there's a problem with the disk drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
