If they can let me that would be great.

Thanks

776372 2009-05-24 02:43:00 Do you want to install either, or are you looking for a file from one of them??

Ive got 95 but its on floppy (13 disks). If you want to install either, you cant have more than 1 GB. I've got 98 here somewhere on CD, just have to find it

Just a warning : if these OS's are going on newish Hardware- lots of the manufactures dont support the OS these days, so getting drivers to work can be a pain.

776377 2009-05-24 04:11:00 What are you wanting to do with the laptop? If you're wanting to just do basic word processing, web browsing etc then you could give a lightweight Linux distribution like Damn Small Linux a go. Then you're not breaking the Windows license agreement either :) ad_267 (6193)
776378 2009-05-24 05:39:00 I think their were two versions of windows 98, as I'm sure I had 2 discs. But can't find them as yet. I recall 98 use to stall a bit, always had to use the floppy rescue/utility disk. kahawai chaser (3545)
776379 2009-05-24 05:43:00 Win98 and Win98 Special Edition.

Also Windows 95a or b or c. With a few bits and pieces like compulsory at the time IE and USB support etc.. FAT 32 etc.. while a) was without all of that.
