I am trying to re-install the Win98SE OS on a friends machine having wiped the hard drive. Every time it reads the CD rom it says 'Disc boot error-insert system disc' I have tried with ME and XP discs all with the same message.
Any advice please. I have followed the same procedure on other machines and had no trouble.
Thanks
