I would like to know if anyone knows of a way of installing win98 on a computer that is not an emachines. I have a copy of win95 that I bought I have a copy of windows millenium as well. I cant use the milleneum
cd my hardrive is compressed uncompressed it doesnt have enough space. Please if anyone knows how to install w98se using the emachines restore I would greatly appreciate it.
I dont think I need to call anywhere. I think I have paid enough already. Windows 95 cost me $89.00 and Windows Milleneum cost $89.00 and I am not using either. The emachine CD came with a computer that is no non operational. So before you pass judgement get the facts. All the program I am trying to use are mine.

the version of windows ME that cost $89 is the one that will accept windows 95 as qualifying product upgrade.
I don't think you need windows 98 for anything.

There is a way, but it is kind of a pain. First you need to be able to extract to a HD from the .img files on the Emachine Restore CD. You will need a program to be able to extract from .img files. (I don't remember what program I used, but I think it was WinAce). Then you will have to burn the files to a cd. You won't beable to do this on a small HD.
Emachine Restore CD's are designed to extract from an .IMG file and place it onto the HD, they don't actually install windows. It is an image of a Install thats placed on the HD. But after these .img's are extracted then the initial setup continues. look on the CD and find windows.img or win.img file or something to that name, extract the files from that .img to an empty folder on a HD, in the folder will be a folder "options" open it then open the "cabs" folder, in here are all the windows setup and install files, this content is what you will need to burn to a CD. Now the setup.exe dose not let you do a custom install, it will do a install without any input from you untill it is complete. Then it will ask for Product ID date/time etc. etc.....
I was able to do this with a E466is restore CD.

if you want to expand a file that has an .img extension, you have to use winimage.
