34546 2002-02-06 02:25:00 Hi,

I have searched for Win98SE bootdisk and downloaded some. They were in self-extracting exe files. I extracted them to A: and tested the floppy out and it came back with invalid disk replace media message.

Is there a way I am suppose to write it to floppy?

I am running Win2k/XP but I need a Win98 bootdisk.

All the basic files to make a bootdisk are there io.sys, msdos.sys, command.com, etc... but still doesn't work.

If there's no fix to this could someone redirect me to a site that has a Win98SE bootdisk that does work for them.

Try www.bootdisk.com. At the least they may have some answers for you.

34548 2002-02-06 02:38:00 i'm assuming you don't have win98se. get a mate with a win98se to make a stock windows one for you or send you the files.

some such as ultimate boot disk require it to be unpacked and boot disk made on a win98se machine.

what ones have you tried ??

34549 2002-02-06 03:38:00 No I don't have Win98SE. I did use to and I did have bootdisks but they are nowhere to be found.

I think I've been to www.bootdisk.com and it didn't work. I am running Win2k/XP.

Is it possible to make a bootdisk from the CD? The reason is that I want to install Win98 on a computer that can't boot from CD due to a bios limitation. Too old I guess and can't find a bios update and Compaq doesn't have my model anywhere on their site.

I know the bios is intel's but tracking down an update for it is to much of a mission.
