Re: Dell Latitude LS



Go to www.bootdisk.com and download the image for Windows 98SE. Make the
floppy on another machine. Boot from it and follow my instructions.

Sounds good, but i dont quite understand it.
I dont completely know what im doing when it comes to laptops.
My area is desk top PCs.
However i must point out its not a 32GB hd, its a 40GB HD.
I understand the FDisk part and the partitioning part no problem but
iv never copied files onto a HD with no Operating System.
I wasnt aware it could be done.
Iv already done several different Boot Disks but many had no FDisk
item in them.
Do you know which has them?
Thanks for all your help Tom.
