Default Full install of 98SE


-----Original Message-----
I've heard you can copy all of the Win98SE files to the

hard drive so that if a
program asks for the CD you can point it to the hard

drive to find the files it
needs, I asked about it on an AOL message board and got

this response:

Copy the CD to your hard drive first. Make sure that when

you copy the CD to
the drive that all the folder hierarchy on the CD remains

intact.
The open the registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rent

Version\Setup
Change the value in the right pane for the setup or

source path to point to the
folder on your hard drive where you copied the CD to.

Is that the best way to do it? Copy the entire CD?

I didn't do anything with registery when I copied my cd
to hd. Just make a directory under c:\ called win98cd and
copy the cd to the directory. Anytime the pc ask you to
put in the win98 cd, just browse and point to that
directory. GUD LUCK.
