sorry for using dml space for this but a resource is a resource and i need
help.

the scenario: upgrading a 95 nec computer from windows 3.1 to windows 98

the problem: it won't do it.
the solution?: i tried it in windows. i tried it in dos. i formated drive c
and tried in dos again. i tried with a win 98 boot
disk. win 98 disk keeps trying to install its drivers for the cd rom
onto the computer and they don't work but that's not stopping it from
wiping the functioning drivers from the machine.
the questions?:a friend mentioned defragging and formatting drive c any value
in that.
        another suggested that perhaps the cd rom wasn't in a 32 bit format?
        a web site mentioned a bios update was necessary(nec is out of
buisness though) what do i do now?
        would this be way easier to do this in to stages win 3.1-95-98?

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
derek
