If it is 2.2.5 Release. Do this Install the Dos partition first. Then format the Hardrive in Dos, then install the Cdrom. As if you are going to install from win95. So when you boot up you should be able to do " D: " and then isert the Cdrom and then type in Setup or install. Dont worry about the dos partition. In the install process you will get a chance to overwrite the dos partition. You should be able to do this on 2.2.2 also. If this does not work, post the message again with the version. Jahanur A.
