PCG-505G recovery problem

[fritzard]

I recently installed win98se over the pre-installed win98 & it has not been a great success - somewhat unstable & slow! When I tried to recover using the original recovery cd & following the instruction manual, the system would not enter the recovery process & simply allowed windows to startup. Have tried e-support but they are either too busy or can't be bothered to reply. Help please!

start the computer with the install cd in the drive and opt for start computer with cd support. use fdisk to delete the partition you want to install on, then create a partition and set active. reboot with cd in drive and opt to setup.

i have only had experience with 98se, but i am an accomplished crasher of systems having refurbished mine at least , well, let's just gloss over that.

good luck

It's always best to upgrade Win9x from scratch
