No I don't have a boot floppy disc.
I did use a cd-rom program called wipedrive to overwrite the hard drive prior to installing Windows 98.
Had the same error message before and after clearing the HDD.
After using the wipedrive disc I reinstalled win 98 and it reformatted the HDD.

New member here trying to salvage an old emachines t2778 pc.
I'm trying to load Windows 98 from a cd-rom.
It goes through everything fine until it's time for restart.
Upon restart The 98 logo comes on the screen and then can't load user.exe. must reinstall windows.
If I remember correctly we stopped using this pc because of viruses and wouldn't run well.
I don't think it has any hardware related issues and originally had windows xp.
I had a windows 98 operating system cd and was just trying to get this thing working if possible.
Please bear with me as I'm barely computer literate, LOL.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, like I posted I'm a real noob at this and don't really understand about drivers and all that but I want to learn.
The microsoft link was very helpfull.
I found a desk drawer with a bunch of old floppy disc in it and I'm sure the boot disc is among them.
