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.

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.

Default 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.
