Boot From USB Harddisk
Hi!
My CD Rom is not working and i don't have floppy in my Laptop. I have window98 CD and a desktop computer with windows xp on it. I have removed the harddisk of my laptop and connected to the desktop. How can i transfer system files on the first partition of the external harddisk from windows 98 CD so that i can boot from the harddisk directly? Thanks! |

Your post is not clear. What are you attempting to do--copy the setup files
from the W98 CD to your laptop hard drive so that you can put the drive back in the laptop and install W98? If this is the case, do you want to do a clean install (format the drive) or install over the top of an existing system? -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Shell User "create_share" wrote in message ...

Disconnect the harddrive from the desktop and with just the laptop's HD connected... Boot up with a cd support floppy and copy your win98 folder to the HD also from the A: drive issue the command sys C: that should transfer the system files to make the drive bootable in the laptop... then when the drive is back in the laptop, it should boot . You can then run setup from within the win98 folder Note: if your desktop does not have a floppy, the win98 cd may be bootable |

The OP can try the Motto Hairu (AKA Panasonic) DOS USB drivers and see if they will allow him to prepare the disk from a DOS session. Or he can get a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch IDE Adapter and stick the disk on the IDE controller in his desktop, these adapters can be bought for a couple of dollars. John |
