| Hi,
| Is it possible to run windows 98 from a CD?
|
| I very much doubt it.
|
| I want to install 98 but
| I don't want to have to re-install windows XP.
|
| Look into installing 98 to a seperate partition and using a boot
manager to
| choose which OS to boot. .
|
|
| AFAIK, I would have to install 98 to a hard drive and then
copy the
| files to a cd, but what I need to know is if this would work or not?
|
|
| Even if you could get it to boot, which I doubt,, the OS needs to
write to the volume \
| (paging file, %temp%, the free space count in the boot sector, to name
a few).
|
|
| Better yet, is their a Live CD version of Windows 98?
| I doubt it, but this would be a much easier solution.
|
|
| MS Virtual PC or VMware might be better options if you're needing 98
for testing purposes
