If you're going to ask questions about win-98, then why be a bone-head
and not cross-post to microsoft.public.win-98.gen_discussion?


Wow I just found out about this group. I always liked 98. It was DOS
with windows. Now Windows has a "fake" DOS, basically a CLI or DOS box.

I can't get my 98se to boot and I think I now know why. I had a
genuine win98se CD years ago. Now I don't know where it's at and I have a
copy of it I burned. I must not have made the CD-R bootable. I'm not sure
what to do now.

I have a Genuine windows 98 se CD too
That have to run in windows 98 fe

But there is a work around to it

By adding win98 boot to your
CD-R bootable

I would use
http://www.deepburner.com/
The Free will do the job

What is "win98 boot"?

Bill


Windows 98 Set Up
Floppy Disk
That can with the CD

But if your have a upgrade CD
You will not have Floppy Disk

I have in this file Boot_98.img
But I'll can make a zip file for you at:
http://store.mynews.ath.cx/temp/Virt...irtual_Win-98/

Boot_98.zip

Make a New CD
Add all your Win 98 CD files
and add all file out of that Zip

Not the Folder Boot_98
Just the Files that in it

Then deep burner it to a new CD

That will make a Bootable CD for You
you do have your
Genuine windows 98 se
Product Key

You have to have it

I like this one too.
