To create a bootable floppy from within WindowsXP: XP is totally capable of creating a ME version boot disk: Good luck post any questions you might have, and someone will help you. See this link for important information about putting Win9.x on a harddrive with an operating system already installed: You might have an option in your CMOS settings to boot from a CD-ROM drive, but if you want to boot from the floppy disk, you'll have to set the CMOS to boot from the A: drive your default setting might NOT work that way. When you boot with this disk, you'll have the option of using the CD-ROM drive. Remove the floppy disk, and be SURE to write-protect it, to keep it from possible infection in the future. When the program finishes, the dialog box will disappear. You'll see another dialog box with a progress bar, so you'll know that the program is actually working. Insert a BLANK floppy disk, or one which does NOT contain any data you need, then click on the "OK" button. When it opens, it will tell you to insert a floppy disk into the drive. Once the (short) download completes, find the program and DOUBLE-CLICK on it. Simply download the boot98se.exe program from one of those sites, and save it to the Desktop. Knowing my luck, it is not DOS compatible.You can download a program to make a Win98SE bootdisk from any one of these four links, while using ANY Windows operating system if one site is busy, try another: After playing around with it for a few days now, the lack of sound in DOS bothers me and is hopefully something the sound card I have on the way will solve. The driver situation was a nightmare, but I did eventually get working sound and video out of a board that, for all intents, was not made with this application in mind. Literally, I only need DOS to be able to partition the SD card and I use the boot USB that I made following a PhilsComputerLab tutorial with the Windows 98 installation files on it.Įdit 3: My Dell Dimension 3000 now has Windows 98 SE working.
And have now run into a new problem: I have no idea how to allow the VM to install/partition the SD card. So now I am back to trying the DOS in VM method. Therefore, I have no way to connect the SD card to the computer. I will post an update as soon as I attempt this tomorrowĮdit 2: My epiphany was a dud as the only IDE connector on my Inspiron is for an IDE Floppy drive. I could just do all of this there, maybe. I have a Dell Inspiron tower that I use as a XP gaming machine. Any help would be greatly appreciatedĮdit: I just had an epiphany. Is there a good guide to do this via VM so I can just swap it over to the computer? The CD Rom drive in the PC is fried, otherwise, I would burn a disc and be done with it. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 that I am wanting to put Windows 98 on.
