i forgot to mention, it doesn't have a floppy drive.
can somebody help me? please! thanks
i have an IBM Thinkpad. in the bios, i set it to boot from cd. then i reformatted c: drive. restarted the machine, the cd drive blinks a couple times, then all i get is a blank screen with a flashing cursor (underscore) on it. i'm trying to install win 98. it's a full bootable version. also tried a bootable cd that i made with roxio easy cd creator. both do the same thing. how can i get the installation to start. thanks in advance for any help with this.
