Kfh yes i have...i have installed win2k pro and advan server...they both worked and are installed as service pack 2 WITHOUT it asking for the cd..i know what you mean...i have had that happen once with my friends version of win2kpro with sp1...but it didnt happen with mine. It is the correct way to do it...on OZ\'s page i mean.....but can anyone help me out on making win98/me install off the same cd... it gets to the part where it says something like this but not exactly
windows 98 setup
scanning registery...
copying files to prepare setup
it says that but then the cd stops spinning and that screen is just frooze there... i copied over the files from the cd to my hdd and ran setup there but it said it was uncompatible with the ntfs partition and terminated install...which i know it is but it wasnt a ntfs partition i copied them too and ran setup...about those .dat files OZ has made....how do i make one of those...those seem to be the files that manipulate the install into working right from the extracted floopy images...i put some effort into.(atleast for me ;P)..anyways..
PLEASE HELP ...I really want to get win98 and winme on the same cd and to work properly and have the whole thing over...i have never ever installed win9x so i am not too sure what is going right and what is going wrong..besides it is just not working...here is how i edited my diskemu.cmd down below...it seems to work right?¿i guess...but as of now i am using a .img to run win9x setup..

print
print Why a Todo List you might be wondering...well probably not but im gonna tell
print you incase your a very late person ;P. In this release the only thing that I
print can use is a 80min cd. As you all know these are becoming obsolete. With
print 99min cd\'s and even better the double data cd\'s right around the corner,
print there will have to be alot of new cdrom\'s being made. As most of you probably
print know the standard cdrom will only read 99 minutes...so with double data cd\'s
print coming out VERY soon new cdrom\'s will be made. With that change comes time
print parallel with dvdr\'s already here...just not affordable
http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'
\' />. So i am currently
print searching for a 99 minute cdr-w to purchase (double data i wont use unless
print they are considerably cheaper than dvdr\'s and only a pinch higher than a 99
print minute cdr). When i get my hands on a 99min cdr-w i will do another LuciusxoOS
print cd but with nothing ript out at all of win2k\'s and with WinXP Pro and XP
print Advanced Server. That will cover any OS that Microsoft has that is worth doing
print at all (although i could do that OS cd now but not without drastically ripping
print out data). Even after you wind up learning how to do this kind of cd yourself,
print which will be soon thanks to the links i have given, this cd will be long
print forgotten about. Things coming up around the corner for data-back are going to
print only get bigger and better. It\'s going to be exciting to see how all these new
print memory storage disc\'s is going to affect us by having access to it freely. For
print years now dvd\'s have only been in the hands of the MPAA (who which is by the
print way not good for anybody but themselve\'s...regardless of what you think they
print do or stand for...they are a spoof association). Also being that cdrom\'s have

print ///////////////////////////////////////
print Since I barely had enough in me to make this cd...I have not figured out
print exactly how to make the win98/me setup process easier than what Microsoft says
print it is, but we have lost the boot floppy ;P. Now it took me awhile to even
print gather the info on how to do this mulitOS bootable so don\'t think im heading
print right back out on the forum\'s beating users for information ;P.
print
print Also...unless you have a fat16/32 partition on your hdd that is functional
print already...you will have to run fdisk and choose to format a fat16/32 partition
print first, or else it will recongize the cdrom drive as c:. Trust me, to show you
print a example on how little I know about computers, I actually tried to install it
print on a NTFS hdd and got a error saying it couldnt find a fat partition. So I
print beat the boards again and someone responded to me informing me of this ;P.
print Although I have read a article on how to go about doing it with some text
print editing and software, also how to run Window\'s 98 as a operating system off a
print cd without having 1 win98 file on your hdd, I have chose to decline those
print craft\'s due to the lack of time it takes...but you might want to look into it
print If you do look into runnig win98 off a cd...find out if you can burn a cd
print image off your hdd while doing it. Anyways...ok let\'s begin this you fine

print Step 3: Now type the drive letter of your cdrom drive pluse a \":\" with it,

print if you want winme and hit enter. (example: my cdrom drive is d: so I type d:)
print Step 4: Now type \"Setup\" then hit enter, and setup will begin!
print
print ATTN: WRITE IT!!! If win98se asks for a serial number...give it this to shut

print \"PowerQuest\'s Partition Magic 7.0 DOS Version\"
print
print This is not really the greatest by far...but can work instead of fdisk. If
print you choose to use this I am pretty sure you will have to start the win98se or
print the winme setup. To do this...right after the part where you chose to start
print setup with cdrom support (which is option 2 at that point),instead of
print performing the install by typing \"x:\" then \"cd win98\" (x=your cdrom drive
print letter/location)...you want to type \"x:\" then \"cd pq\". From there you are
print going to have a floppy disk on hand and copy over all files in the \"PQ\" folder
print to the formatted floppy. To do this type \"copy PQMAGIC.EXE a:\" and \"copy
print pqmagic.ovl a:\" and so on and so on. After you have copied over all the files
print you will want to then type \"a:\" hit enter, then type \"PQMAGIC\" hit enter.
print After that you will go through its own options (mabye...im not too sure ;P) I
print believe. If it doesnt work then sorry because I have not tested it and will
print not ever use that program again after a certain experience...but it did save
print me once...but then again that was the full version while in windows 2000.
print Personally I use Fdisk...it\'s free, seems to work everytime, and it\'s easy to
print use. But you could try PQ if you want...I just don\'t recommend it :-
print
print NOTE: you will have to boot from the floopy you just copied the files too
