Comment: OK, I've got a laptop that has swappable floppy and cdrom drives. So I can never have both in at the same time. How do I install win98se with this set up? Is there anyway to copy the cdrom drivers onto the harddrive and then install? I just reformatted everything, so there is currently nothing on the drive. PLEASE HELP! As specific as possible please!
Thank you. Brandon O
