I'm having problems installing Win98 on my HDD. My drive is made up of two partitions. Both were damaged by badsectors so I reformatted the C: partition in preparation of the install.

My problem crops up when I try to install 98 as setup Scandisks both my C and D partitions. Scanning C: holds no problems but when it hits D: it reads errors.

Is there a way to make the Win98 install skip D: in setup?

There is a way to bypass Scandisk during setup:

Use this: setup /is

i strongly suggest that you replace your harddisks... it would just cause you more problems in the long run.

I just needed to reinstall 98 so I can burn all my data to CD. Once archieving is done then I'm having my HDD replaced at PCX.

maybe you can use another harddisk as a temporary C:

wala ka bang mahihiraman ng ibang hard drive na may OS, para i-slave mo na lang ang hdd mo. para less hassle ka pa.

Pls lock or delete this thread. I just bought a new PC to get my files out.
