Initially, there was not much of an inconvenience when installing win98 over
dos 5 or win 31.
However, for compatibility issues, I still use win 98, just not on a old 386!
New computers don't have 3.5 disk drive and certainly not 5.25.
I can't install win 98 without showing proof I deserve it. Never mind the
money spent so far and the fact it's no longer supported...
Is there a way around this that Microsoft would approve?
How about giving their loyal, albeit slightly disgruntle, customers a break?
To make maters worse, I am trying to do tis on Virtual PC. dear god.
You choices include, but may not be limited to:
Obtain CD based media of a qualifying prior OS from a seller on E-Bay or
a similar auction/reseller site.
Obtain a full version of Windows 98 (probably should get SE while you
are at it) from a similar source
Temporarily install a floppy drive on the computer so it can read the
qualifying prior OS media.
