Default product codes

My part no is X03-30206


From that I can tell, that's the MS part number for a Windows 98 first
edition upgrade CD.

I have about 4 others codes, but the closest is X03-30200


That also appears to be a Win-98 first edition upgrade CD.

In order to use an upgrade CD, you must have something already on the
hard drive of the system to make the CD think that some older version of
windows is on the drive (like windows 3.x). I suppose that the
re-install should also work.

Do you know if any of the Windows Upgrade Codes came separate
from the Box or Book?


For one thing, when windows asks for a product key, the key will be in
the form of a bunch of letters and numbers like this:

JH2JK - M8TKW - JH4GD - 7763W - 7JYQ6


5 groups of 5 characters per group.

Second, windows-98 first edition sucks really bad, and if you're going
to spend time dicking around with installing or re-installing windows
98, I strongly suggest you do it with second edition.

Do you know how to download a torrent?

If so, I can give you a link to a win-98 second edition torrent.

PS: The product keys I gave in my previous post are for second edition.

These are supposed to be for first edition upgrade cd. Again, tell me
if they don't work:

HVYD6 - 3778J - PD3CK - HGVYB - RM24B
F73WT - WHD3J - CD4VR - 2GWKD - T38YD
VD4WG - Y998T - 3MGWX - GPW2Q - 3QVC8
DKRBQ - TXYCX - 6K4GD - 4CPJ7 - C6B26
FT9CH - XVXW7 - 7BFCM - RPR49 - VDHYD
PW3DW - PC9D8 - Q7VMQ - 8YTMY - RTR9G
M4G3G - 77CGM - 9FY8T - PMWBC - JJYDM

Or try these:

CCW67 - GWQY3 - 9TG6G - 3P7YP - 728JX
CQKDD - TJC3J - 3Y7YJ - 8CG9M - 22MFF
G2FGT - 6HYRW - X2W2C - RT7HW - RF7WX
