win98 boot disk
I don't do email support and you really should not ask for it. When a
response is posted in the newsgroup, a lot of people are going to review it and make sure that the answer is correct or at least that it will not do any harm to your PC. When you get an email, no one can review it to ensure it has good information. Finally, when you use a valid email address in a public newsgroup, chances are you are going to get tons of spam and emails with a virus attached.

win98 boot disk
Make the boot disk per the information provided in my instructions. If the
boot disk doesn't work with the generic drivers, there are instructions on how to alter the disk to include specific drivers. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ... i just have one question.......do i have to load my cd rom drivers before i install win98 back on to my machine. -----Original Message----- Not a problem--take a look at my instructions and they should help. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "shawn" wrote in message ... sorry i did not know. i dont think my pc can have anymore damage done to it. thanks anyway. -----Original Message----- I don't do email support and you really should not ask for it.

win98 boot disk
That's exactly what I had to do with this old Packard Bell Ron. The drivers
provided on the W98 boot disk didn't have the necessary CD-ROM drivers. I had to d/l the drivers off the web, and add them to the floppy, then modify CONFIG.SYS.
