INSTALL Windows 98 on Flash Drive
I cannot run my all time favorite computer game " THE DAME WAS LOADED"
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dame-was-loaded Is it possible to install either WIN 98 or maybe MS DOS which is all this game needs on a flash drive?. I already have 2 hard drives in my computer. The slave drive is to hold MP3s and such. |

I think it might be possible to do; however, I don't know how you would get
it to boot. What system are you running--XP? If so, have you tried running the game in compatibility mode? -- 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 "atlantic965" wrote in message ups.com...

Running XP PRO on a Gateway E4100. Yes I have tried compatibility
mode?. This game pre-dates Windows 98 even. It needs DOS. |

Sounds like you should be asking in an XP group how to run this DOS game under XP.

HP has a utility to make most pen drives bootable. Search for SP27213.
The computer itself must have USB boot as a bios option. I have MSDOS 7.1 (from Windows 98SE) and Windows 3.11 on a 512 MB Sandisk pen drive and it boots fine on computers with USB boot capability. I should note that making a generic pen drive bootable is a finicky process. The HP utility would not run on my Win98 machine but worked fine on a Win2000 machine. The drive would not boot if loaded with MSDOS 6.22 files but worked ok with MSDOS 7.1. Some pen drive manufacturers provide boot programs - Transcend does for their Jetflash series.

Did run across the question a few times at such. Mentioned was an MS
emulation program that ran in XP. You need lots of RAM. -- Jonny "glee" wrote in message ...

Hello:
Thanks for the Link !. This DOS emulator works fairly well but had some bugs. I could not save games and when It came time to insert the 2nd CD in the game it would not work. Else really good. |
