•Are all SCSI cables and power cables properly connected?•Are all SCSI devices turned on?

5.2 Troubleshooting in Windows 95/98

I get error messages when installing Windows 95/98 from my CD-ROM drive.

To install Windows 95/98 from your CD-ROM drive, you need to do the following:

1.Create a Windows 95/98 Startup disk if one is not provided with your Windows 95/98 CD.

2.Copy aspi8u2.sys and aspicd.sys from the ASUS support CD to the Windows 95/98 Startup disk.

3.Restart your computer with the startup disk in the floppy disk drive.

4.When the Windows 98 Startup menu is displayed, select Start computer with CD-ROM support and press <Enter>.

5.Insert the Windows 95/98 CD into the CD-ROM drive, switch to your CD-ROM driver letter and type setup.

Why does my computer hang while installing Windows 98?

If you have a USB device connected to your system, there is probably an IRQ conflict. Make sure that no two devices share the same IRQ.
