I have Windows 98 On Floppys
I see so many people looking for Windows 98 on Floppys. I managed to
get my hands on a set a long time ago and I used winimage to make a image file of each disk in case they ever got corrupted. It took me forever to find a set, My friend used to have it on floppy, and I wanted them but he wouldnt sell them. Then he finally corrupted his set from using them so much fixing old laptops. Now I have a set and he dont. If anyones still needing this email me at |

Yes, but when you simply don't have a CD drive...

I don't want the floppies, I want the images. I'll burn them to CD and keep
them for posterity's sake. I've got a ton of old machines piling up in my spare bedroom, and one of these days I might even put a few together. I can envision trying a few things where a CD install isn't feasible. Of course, I do believe it's in contravention of the WIn98 licensing agreement to be sharing these things around, g. -- Gary S.

I find it easiest , when doing large data transfers on a non-networked machine.. to simply pull the HD out and slave it into the host machine. even if it's a laptop...I have a HD adaptor that only cost less than 10 bucks! Most of my machines have several removable drive kits... so the whole operation takes just a few minutes... When fixing up machines that I find discarded... It would sure be nice if the people tossing them out would also include the media and the license too |
