I have recently been asked to load an OS on a friends computer due to the fact that she accidentally formatted her HDD.
However I cannot get the CD drive to work to run the OS disk.
I tried to reboot the PC with the Win 98 boot disk including CDRom drivers (as this is the OS she had on the PC initially), but it doesn't work. Coincidentally the OS was copied to disk for her so it does not start on insertion into the CDRom as most OS disks do.
I cannot load XP as the PC is fairly old with only a 1Gig and 500meg HDD.
How do I reboot the PC to load the OS?
