Default Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

Hi, anyone can provide me a copy of the Windows 98 Second Edition.


Download and install a bit-torrent client. I've been using u-torrent
recently.

Then go to one of the bit-torrent directory sites and search for win-98
torrents.


Let's try this one:

http://dl.torrentreactor.net/downloa...+CD+%2B+CD+Key


Ok, download complete.

I downloaded a UIF converter from he

http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/400...38.TPB.torrent

It's a very small (32 kb) command-line executable (uif2iso.exe). I sent
it to virustotal to be scanned, and it came back 100% negative.

I ran it and created a 655 mb iso file. I burned the file to a cd using
ECDC and I'm looking at it now.

By all appearances it's a win-98se cd. File dates are 4/23/99, 10:22
pm.

I'm not sure if it's a retail cd, or an oem cd, or some other version.
If there's a file on the cd (txt, dll, etc) that would identify the
exact MS part or product number, then let me know.

I performed a DOS-level comp command on the root directory and the
\win98 directory on the CD against an image of a win-98se CD I have on
my system and all files compared exactly (that's roughly 1/3 of the
contents of the CD).

So Normanny, go and do what I just did. You'll have a win-98se cd in
your hands (and a few dozen product keys) in about 5 or 6 hours.
