Does anyone know what the label for the Windows 98 SE cd should be? when I put my backup in my drive to run it, it goes fine until I click on somthing on the Welcome to Windows 98 CD screen. then it keeps on asking me to re-insert the CD in the drive. the disk is an exact replica of my original retail version, plus it has a couple drivers for my hardware that I put on there as addons. I have labled the CD "08192001-172225" (made August 19th, 2001 on 5:22.25pm) It runs fine from the DOS prompt, it just dosent work in windows. To browse the CD I have to right click on the drive and select Open. Can someone tell me the proper label for the CD? I would greatly apprciate it. Thank you.

My label is "Win98 SE" Don

Okay, I have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to burning CDs. But, I believe you can not make a copy of a Windows CD. There is copyright protection built into the label of the original CD.

Of course you can make an exact working copy of a Microsoft disk. It will be labeled something different than the original, but it does not matter what it is called. It will work fine. Can you make another copy and try it again? There must be a scratch or other problem with the disk during the install.

If you use any copy program using a TAO or DOA you will get an exact copy of the cd, including the exact label. And when you put it in your cd rom drive then look in my computer you should see it has the windows flag logo on the cd rom in the drive.

i used adaptec chose the option that makes a duplicate of the cd and was able to burn windows 95 98 98se me 2000 with it. Never tried xp because the activation thing makes it pointless.

Use clonecd to make perfect 1:1 copies it wors on every cd i ever copied and with xp pro you have no activation
