Default having trouble installing win98 on a laptop with no os

Sounds like Microsoft's generic OEM CDs you got there. Would blow my socks
off to find out they're bootable. I can't recall one instance of such a
disc. I do recall such with WIN95 discs.

Oh well, unless someone else can clarify... I'll dig through a couple of
places and see if I have one or two handy. But non-bootable is the

standard
AFAIK.


You are probably right...
because if something is in my house...it's more than likely totally
non-standard G



Well I never saw a bootable win95 cd
OTOH: ...I don't think I ever tried to boot with one.


Now I may have to tear my house apart to find a cd that does not say:

for PC's without windows...
I could swear I had some but I doubt I'll find any now that I want to.


Good thing it's way past my bedtime and I'm falling asleep
or I'd test all my win98 cd's to see if they boot !
