can i get a win98 installation disk from a hdd with win 98 on it? lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself!

possibly from the c:windows\options folder, unless it has been deleted " It'll Get Ya When You Aint Lookin " Please Post back to let us know if we helped

Sometimes they put them in c:\win98 Search for Win98_40.cab (which should have a stack of other cabs with it). If you don't find it, and the rest, then W98 has not been copied onto the HD. Otherwise there's no way to construct a W98 installation disk from a normal Windows load if that's what you mean. DerekW

Bob You said "unless it has been deleted". They are not always put there. DerekW

You most certainly can, if as others said, you have the "cabs" somewhere on the hdd. I don't remember what all I used, but I did this for a couple of machines. One belonged to a friend, envolved ME, the other was 98 first. At the time I had no CD's for either. I copied all the cabs, as well as the "command" folder, and made SURE that I had things like format, fdisk, etc, and of course "the key." Then I made and tested a startup floppy, and in my Nero, it can use a bootable floppy to make a bootable CD. easy.
