Default Troubles to download Windows98SE

I finished building a computer and about to install the operating system.My CPU is a
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400 + AM2 Black Edition,the m/b M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless
Edition.

I booted the computer with a W98SE startup floppy,then I select start computer with
CD-ROM support ( by the way,I did that many times in the past whenever I formatted
the hard drive )

It goes to PCI scan complete and the A: shows up on the screen.

When I switch to C and ask for directory it says Invalid media type reading drive C
When I switch to D it says Diagnostic tools successfully loaded to Drive D
When I switch to E it says: Volume in drive E is Win98.Now I type setup,hoping
this would load Windows98 but id does not.
I get a message :
Scanning system registry...
Windows Setup requires 7340032 bytes available on...
After this nothing happens anymore

Somewhere it also indicated this is a MS RamDrive,whatever that means.

Can anybody tell me what I should do ?

Thanks

Robi

You need to run FDISK after loading the floppy and setup your hard drive.

On another note Win98 is a POS, why not put on XP?
