PC98 Error - Windows 95 Setup

[iBetaTosh]

I look to upgrade my HDI file with Windows 3.1 to Windows 95.

But I get a certain error preventing me.

Here's an image of what I'm talking about.

I can't tell for sure since I don't read Japanese, but it looks like Windows 95 Setup was expecting to find a reference to smartdrv.exe (disk cache) in CONFIG.SYS, but didn't find it.

[iBetaTosh]

Can you find a member to read this?

[compgeke]

Look in your config.sys file and remove any references to smartdrive.exe.

[iBetaTosh]

But i cant, because edit is not on my Boot Floppy neither is my HDI.

Boot Windows 3.1 and open config.sys in Notepad?

[yksoft1]

It says Setup cannot continue when SMARTDRV.EXE is loaded. Remove that reference from config.sys.
PC98xx MS-DOS never get EDIT.COM/QBASIC.EXE, however MS-DOS 5.00x and 6.20 have its own SEDIT.EXE as a text editor.

I use an dos PC98 disk with cdrom support from a forum and I get an setup message with 2 buttons,

I click the left button and it freezes me back to the screen where i typed in WIN.com.

So I need someone to examine this problem.

I will give you an emulator with the CD ROM, 2 FDI's and an HDI File.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:

First, insert the CD Access FDI into Floppy Drive 1 where it says on the file label "CD Access".

Second, insert the HDI into IDE #0.

Last, insert CD into IDE #2 and start Windows from C Drive. Then go to file manager to Q Drive then go to the Win95 folder and start setup. click OK on the message and you will see the problem..

PS: I set C Drive's config.sys FILE= amount to 30. :3

No PC98xx emulator has perfect CDROM support. The safest way is just to copy the install files from the CDROM into the harddisk image.

Ok yksoft1, I have set the file amount to 30 on my config.sys in A:.

But I get another error, can you read that error in the pic up there?

It says that it needs 4391088 bytes of free space to continue.
I used some Japanese OCR to convert characters to text.

i guess s/space/ram,

[iBetaTosh]

How can i expand HDI Files?

[iBetaTosh]

Anyway, I used Anex86 to create a new HDI and I have trouble with fdisk.

[The Distractor]

have you even attached the hdi ?

[iBetaTosh]

Yes i tried to attach the HDI to IDE #0.

I got Yk to read it and it said "Disk Not Available".

[georgejraven]

Well, The problem looks like some program is incompatible. Try reinstaling from scratch with Win 95 not 3.1.

But how can i expand HDI files?

ＣＯＮＦＩＧ。ＳＹＳファイルに smartdrv.exe　が見つかりました。
セットアップを中止します。
Romanized: CONFIG.SYS fairu ni smartdrv.exe ga mitukarimasita.
Settoappu o tyuusi simasu.
Translated: Smartdrv.exe was found in CONFIG.SYS.
Setup is stopping.

So remove smartdrv.exe from your CONFIG.SYS and try again.

Edit: some of the emulators (I don't remember which exactly right now) can generate a HDI for you. So have them generate a sufficiently large HDI for you.
