Just having a usb-connected thumb drive accessible to a computer booted
into DOS is not an easy thing to do.

I gave up on the idea because no matter what I did, I just couldn't get
'98 to install, so I ordered one of these:

Not being in a hurry, I'll of course have a much better chance of this
working out. They say "new", but whether it really is or not who knows
but the price seems right if I don't mind the wait (and I don't).


One last thing. Having a conversation and adding to a thread on Usenet
is not the same as doing the same over email.

Yes, I know.


...So you will notice that I
only quoted what was necessary to respond to your original post and I'm
not needlessly repeating your entire post at the end of what I'm typing
here.

Hopefully, that's better. Sorry, I was just being lazy and
inconsiderate. I probably won't post here again now, not because of
anything anyone has or hasn't done or said, but because I won't be
trying any more unsuccessful attempts to do what I was trying to do
originally. The old laptop already had Win Me on it, so that's what
I'll install again once the new HD arrives.

Thanks to you and others for trying to help,
