How to get Windows 98 (Second Edition) OS

I was installing a new Network Card (my previous card got
fried due to lightning) and while installing its drivers,
I was prompted to insert Windows 98 CD.

Since my desktop purchase has been about 7/8 years ago, I
cannot locate my original CDs.

What should I do? Is there a way that I can download
Windows 98 CD (second edition). Is there a way that I can
buy Windows 98 (second edition CD).

I inquired at several Stores and they do not have Windows
98 on their shelves anymore.

I don't want to upgrade my Desktop to Windows 2003 as this
desktop has Pentium II and only has about 256 Mb RAM.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft has extended support for Windows 98 to June
2006, so you won't be able to download the files from
anywhere.

Have a look at ebay.com for your country.

Amazon.co.uk still sells it new:

The link was converted into a tiny url at
http://www.tinyurl.com because of its length.

Amaon in your country probably also sells it.

You could also do a search on your system for .cab files,
because the Windows 98 files are in many .cab files that
might be on your hard drive.

You can copy the entire contents of the Windows CD to
another partition or hard drive, and when Windows asks for
its CD point it to the copy on the hard drive.
