Windows 98 on a usb

Recommended Posts

Hi, i am trying to install Windows 98 into a SanDisk cruzer micro 4gb. I used hp format utility to make a dos boot drive on the usb disk, then i dragged the installation files into usb disk. When it booted into the usb disk, i ran the setup and selected to install it on the usb i am using, after the reboot, it shows the looking for drivers animation, then i get the bsod, then i click enter to continue, and i get a blue box, where i can move the mouse only.

My computer

hp compaq nc6400

1gb ram

SanDisk cruzer micro 4gb

When i went to safe mode it told me it can't install drivers in safe mode. When i click okay, nothing i can click is on the screen.

You mean that you don't get the "Start" button?

What happens if you press when booted in safe mode Ctrl+Alt+Canc?

Do you get Task Manager?

As in:

Which tasks do you see running?

Ctrl+Alt+Canc?

Eh? :unsure:

I assume specific to non-US keyboards. Should be Ctrl+Alt+Del on US ones. ;)

Yep :), my bad :blushing: , forgot to translate the "Canc" (Italian) to "Del" (English), BUT since I posted an image in which CTRL+ALT+DEL (again) is mentioned ;), you are given honoris causa the grammar police badge I received just today from submix8c:

:lol:

BTW, off-topic, but after finding this I finally understand the "de La Palice" references. :w00t:

I can't access device manager because all i see is the safe mode background, and the task man thing was for jaclaz. Sorry about that. :blushing:

It didn't work (the system.cb) . I think my problem is i am at the part when the system install the drivers in the background that says something like "98 setup" on the top
