Originally posted by runnerman Unfortunately, I recently tried to install a driver and the computer asked for the windows CD which is missing in action.
Does anyone know where I can get another Win 98 SE CD?
Totally, when Pricegrabber is showing FULL 98 SE for about $66.00 including shipping for the first company I would think might be decent(my usual source is having such demand versus supply that they are selling FULL 98 SE for about $95.00 right now). (licenses only are around $41.00 now, and the license gives you a legal product key). And there are three Full 98 SE trades that show the buy now at about $71.00 on eBay itself which look to have been posted quite recently. Two of them at least are being sold by a guy who is reasonably reliable on the surface-- 119 sales, 99.2% positive.
Always, always, always copy the .cab files to the HD before installing and install from the HD as opposed to the CD-ROM and you will never again have this issue.
That, or with 98 open regedit, look for 'InstallPath', edit to point to C:\Options\Cabs which is where I stick my cab sets or perhaps in C:\Windows\Options\Cabs if you like that, or even if you have a second HD use D:\Options\Cabs if that is what 98 wants to call your second HD.
Format hard disk, copy WIN98 or i386 dir from the CD to the HD depending on OS.Then launch setup from the HD. Much faster than CD install and all .cab files will be on the HD. This is the old school way, what we did before bootable install CD.
