PROBLEM CREATING A WIN98 START-UP DISK
In attempting to create a Win98 startup disk via Control Panel "Add/Remove
Programs" on an operating Win98 system to enable me to correct Win98 launch problems with another system that has corrupted system files, I am encountering the following even though my Win98 CD is loaded: "Cannot locate [file name] on Win98 CD-ROM..." command.com drvspace.bin winboot.sys ebd.cab If these file are not on the Win98 CD or the computer's hard drive, how are you supposed to create a Win98 start-up disk? |

Hi,
Try to follow this method Method 1 1. Place the Windows 98 CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive, and have a floppy disk available. 2. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer. 3. Open the following folder on the Windows 98 CD-ROM: Tools\Mtsutil\Fat32ebd 4. Double-click the following file, and then follow the instructions to create the Startup disk: Fat32ebd.exe 5. Write protect the floppy disk. Method - 2 If the method 1 also fails try downloading it from http://www.bootdisk.com/ Note - Check for virus before downloading.
