johkaz Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi to all,I recently updated my 98SE partition on my dual-boot computer, with the latest version of the Un-Official pack. And i could not get my computer to boot into 98SE.I got the update pack from the download page, and then installed it.My computer restarted, and during the 98SE bootup it restarted again.And 98SE went into Safe Mode, i did nothing and rebooted again.And when the computer got to the black screens with words on it.All i got was the screen stuck, and a flashing white cursor for 30 mins.I rebooted again and went again to Safe Mode.Ran System File Checker, that then said that Notepad.exe was corrupted.I copied the file from my copy of the 98SE disk on my hard drive.Continued the rest of the check, nothing else found.I ran Scandisk - nothing foundThen i ran Registry Checker - no extra backup made.I rebooted again, and again it went through the two black screens for bootup.And then went to a blank black screen, with a white blinking cursor on it.And there it stuck again for 10 mins.CTRL-ALT-DEL did nothing.So i re-installed my Ghost backup of 98SE, and i await any ideas on this problem?As i was using an earlier version of the program from mid 2004.And that was ok, but this one does not seem to work for me.Software installed:Ad-Aware SESpybotAvast FreeSpyware BlasterTweak UICacheman (Limiting memory 764MB to 512MB)Latest 98SE updates from Windows Update.Thanks in advance.

erpdude8 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 is 98 SE installed on the C drive of your dual-boot machine? then the SP should work w/out any problems. if 98se is installed other than C drive, then the pack might cause trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johkaz Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi,I have just tried again to install the 'update' onto my 98SE partition, and again i had the same problems as described above.Can anyone tell me if this is an update? Or do i have to un-install my 98SE operating system, re-install it as per the Installation instructions.In the order that i have read, as i am somewhat confused here.Because when i last used your product in mid 2004, i did an update onto my system. And i had no problems in doing it.But, now if i install the update onto my C:\ drive as it is, i get no end of problems.Such as no boot up to 98SE, just the black screen with words and a flashing cursor.I did a manual reboot, and went to Safe Mode, Scandisk, Repair Errors, which it did.Another reboot and again 20 mins with no loading of 98SE.Questions:If i have to re-install 98SE from scratch to install this update, and in the order described the other programs as well.Can anyone explain why? Because if i do so, i end up destroying my XP boot up as well.As it takes out my dual-boot setup, by having to re-install 98SE from scratch!Thanks.
