Hi!
My CD Rom is not working and i don't have floppy in my Laptop. I have
window98 CD and a desktop computer with windows xp on it. I have removed
the
harddisk of my laptop and connected to the desktop. How can i transfer
system files on the first partition of the external harddisk from windows
98
CD so that i can boot from the harddisk directly?
Thanks!
Disconnect the harddrive from the desktop
and with just the laptop's HD connected...
Boot up with a cd support floppy and copy your win98 folder to the HD
also from the A: drive
issue the command sys C:
that should transfer the system files to make the drive bootable in the
laptop...
then when the drive is back in the laptop, it should boot .
You can then run setup from within the win98 folder
Note: if your desktop does not have a floppy, the win98 cd may be bootable
