"Pleas insert disk labled windows 98 SE" But when i do it dosint detect the dick drive

Installing windows 98 on an old computer, a dell dimension 8300 to be percised. Im in the part of the installation where it scans for devices and it keeps popping up with that window, so i keep needing to just skip the files it asking for because it wont even atempt to detect the disk drive or drive D. only two drives that show up are drive C and drive A which are of no rellivence to me. PLEAS HELP! im trying to get this computer running to run all my favorit old windows 98 games and i know that the computer wont properly run without these files installed, so i dont want to just skip them.

That's because the dick drive must be too floppy; Windows only wants a hard dick drive. XD

In all seriousness, make sure the optical drive is properly connected and set up in the BIOS.

Make sure the cd drive is set on it's own cable and set either to channel select or Master

 

Awesomeness...

old skool, an actual install of an old os rather than vm or emulation.

dont see that often these days.
