Hi guys, I'm a newbie around. I got a little prob trying bringing to life WIN98SE into my new motherboard.

I got a:

MSI MS-6337 815EP PRO Ver:3
Intel Pentium IIIE, 866 MHz (6.5 x 133)

I have my BootDisk for Win98 and my Original Installation CD. I do the FDISK, I FORMAT the HD, everything seems OK until I hit SETUP on the Command Prompt. The windows setup do all his checking but when it says :

"Copying files neccessary for the installation.
This could take several minutes. Please wait..................................."

The last time I wait for two hours!

There's something not good but I do not know what is it. A little help would be very appreciated.

I though it was the HD, but I try installing it in another motherboard (INTEL CALABASAS D810E2CB) with the same CPU, and everything works great.

It is a prob. with the motherboard? (MSI MS-6337 815EP PRO Ver:3)

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE.

Did you move the CDROm over as well? Is the CDrom slaved to the HDD? What is the configuration specifics.

The CDROM is on Secondary Master
The HD is on Primary Master

PCI Nvidia TNT Riva 32Mb VideoCard
Audio On-Board

Somebody Help me Please....

I just bough a brnd new WD 40g HardDrive. But i get to the same point.

FDISK = DONE
FORMAT = DONE

WINDOWS INSTALL = START BUT FREEZE

I really don't know what to do now.
