MORE INFORMATION

The delay can occur whether your computer is in Real Mode or Protected Mode during the installation process.

If you have a Y-E Data USB floppy disk drive attached to your computer, the basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computer must support the attached disk drive. Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition does not support the Y-E Data USB floppy disk drive.
