Cracked it!
Basic but usefull. I had assumed (incorrectly it would appear) that
doing a format followed by a sys was the same as format with the /s
switch! I reformatted the HD again with /s and it booted ok. Left
it overnight to copy the files again and all is now installed and
working.
( I have a feeling that my problems came about because the Startup
floppy produced by Win98 uses disk compression and sys assumed that
the HD would also be compressed?? )
Thanks for all your help.
Cheers,
Chris Williams
