First, of course, the hard disk must be totally clean. To be thorough, I start
off with a new FAT32 partition and then format the drive.

The Win98 boot disk will need these two files copied to it, however:

These files are located in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND on a computer that has Win98 on
it already.

XCOPY32.EXE
XCOPY32.MOD

After the computer has booted up with the installation boot disk and you have
selected to start with CD-ROM support, type in this following line:

A:\XCOPY32 D:\WIN98 C:\WIN98 /E /S

And how would you suggest a novice copied the WIN98 folder to a
freshly-formatted drive?

First off all am amazed with a number of people that are trying to
answer something that they don't know anything about, please leave the
answers to people that do know how to because nr 1 -- u r are not
helping and nr2 you are making foul out yourself.

To answer your question

It's normal that your cd rom does not function in the safe mode
because safe mode does not load any device drivers and without driver
you can't run or access your cd rom..You could modify your
autoexec.bat and config.sys to load 16-bit DOS driver and than load
your system. Some one gave you a good example on how to do this. If
you don't know what I talk about please take your computer to computer
store and have professionals take look. If you live in Des Moines

I don't repair computers nor do I know anything about them but the
lady living above me has a PI MMX 200Mhz com computer with 82 MB RAM
(2 pairs of 72 pin SIMM modules) with a A07 Open motherboard made in
Dec 18,1997.
When ever she turns on her computer equipped with Windows 98 OS it
does it's routine start up screens there after the display reads
something like "Windows protection error must restart your computer"
well I physically disconnected one part at a time like one pair of
RAM,then the 44X CD ROM then the modem and the problem still persists.
Note:during save mode operation the computer goes all the way to
desktop but does not have a D drive icon (CD ROM) therefore she cannot
use the CD ROM and in order for me to enable the "add/remove hardware"
icon I cannot be in save mode.What's the problem with this computer.
Thanks.

I am surprised that people are still reading and replying to this..
if he had a win98 CD then he should be able to simply boot/install from the
CD itself.. His stuff might not be current enough to allow it but I would
guess it is.. plus it's no work involved compared to the other stuff listed
just hit the power button, put the cd in, see if it boots from the CD (you
might need to go into the bios and choose the CD first)
