Win 98 question...

[TheReasonIFailed]

I was doing some cleaning here at work and I threw out all my Win95b CD\'s a couple of months ago.  What\'s the problem you ask???  Well my Windows 98 CD is the upgrade version so when I try and install it askes for the 95 CD.  My question is, can I change a file in the install directory so it doesn\'t ask for the Win95 CD for verification?  I\'d really hate to buy a brand new copy of Win98 for the one PC in the office that isn\'t Win2k compatible.

Thanks in advance...

Get a hold of some old DOS disks and put disk 1 in when it says checking for versions...

Or

Put a windows disk in, normaly disk 1.

Or just borrow a opertaing disk from a friend...

Hope it helps http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

I keep an old copy of 311 burned to all my upgrade CDs. I dont know what files it looks for but 311 & 311/system
only takes up ~5 meg. (probably less if I took the time to clean it up). I havent been able to point it to the CD and make it take, but its not much trouble to copy it over to any fixed disk then point it to that path. If you are intrested in using the
\'Boot to previous OS\' option the you must copy a valid OS to the root directory of the partition you will be booting from. I use 6.22 w/autoexec.bat and config.sys and there calls to be able to have a functional version of 311. Such a partition has to be FAT16 of course. The 311/system dirs can be deleted after the 9.X install if you have no further need for them. I use 311 because it was the last system I was using. I dont know if this will work with 3.1 or 3.0.
