I have no floppy drive and require the boot files for something else, How do I extract them from the exe provided by bootdisk.com I tried to contact them but they sent me here to ask.

As you probably realise, you have to use the exe to create a boot disk (floppy) - not just put the exe itself on a floppy. If you then look at the floppy you have created it should be possible to find the required files. I realise you have no floppy drive but maybe you can create one on a machine with an A drive, or create a CD instead and look inside that. There are definitely boot disks available for running from CD's. some other bloke...

Bootdisk.com might have a cd boot image you could download. Or if you just need the files on a bootdisk we could probably email them.

That's great customer service. boot98se.exe is a winimage self extracting executable that doesn't lend itself to separate processes for extraction of it's files. You can't get there from here. So I just did it on my box for you. It is an exact copy of the 98se bootdisk as created by the Add/Remove Programs|Startup disk tab method made on 7/18/99.
