What we do is to remove the hard drive and attach it to a desktop system. There are two ways to do this. One is using a 2. The other is a 2. It will allow you to recover any documents and test and reformat your drive. Then you want to copy the win98 cd to a folder on the hard drive. Call it cab or cabs. You can then boot to a floppy and run the setup from the cab folder. Good Luck Lee.

So I oh so cleverly moved that file from a friends laptop to my own excellent specimen via floppy, in DOS mode. Message 4 of 6. Hi Essentially YES. Tags 2. Tags: Compaq LTE Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Message 2 of 6. Hi Sometimes the CD has disk images that can be created, but that is hard work. Message 3 of 6. Thank you for the fast reply. But how do you make a bootable partition on the disk? Can you do it in the Fdisk command in ms-dos? Message 5 of 6.
Thank you again for the reply. Might update this thread again when i get my IDE to usb cable. As i have no pc that i can connect that old HDD. Message 6 of 6. When it's done you may enter a name for this drive if you wish.
This way you will install from your hard drive. Then, in the future if Win98 needs any files, it will automatically get them from there. If that were to happen during the Win98 installation, you wouldn't be able to finish the install.
This method avoids this problem. Reboot the computer without the boot disk.
