About Windows 98
Windows 98 (called "Memphis" during development and previously called "Windows 97" based on an earlier schedule) is a widely-installed product in Microsoft's evolution of the Windows operating system for personal computers. Windows 98 expresses Microsoft's belief that users want and should have a global view of their potential resources and that Web technology should be an important part of the user interface. Although building Microsoft's own Web browser into the user desktop has been an issue in the U.S. Justice Department's suit, Windows 98 was released as planned with its tightly integrated browser.
In Windows 98, Microsoft's Internet Explorer is an integral part of the operating system. Using the Active Desktop of Windows 98, you can view and access desktop objects that reside on the World Wide Web as well as local files and applications. The Windows 98 desktop is, in fact, a Web page with HTML links and features that exploit Microsoft's ActiveX control.
With Windows 98 (or with Internet Explorer 4.0 in Windows 95), you can set up news and other content to be pushed to you from specified Web sites.
- Windows 98 also provides a 32-bit file allocation table (FAT) that allows you to have a single-partition disk drive larger than 2 Gbytes.
Other features in Windows 98 include:
- Support for Universal Serial Bus (USB), which makes it easy to plug in new devices.
- Support for Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
- Support for a new industry-standard form of power management called Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

WIN98SE BootDisc w/PCMCIA &Adaptec SCSI 1460 to Ultraplex CD drv
Hello, please advice and guidance !
After changing to a bigger HDD I tried readjusting the partitions and
made something wrong ;-¦
Now I have NO access and need to do a complete RE-install from Recovery CD's !
Unfortunately the IBM X31 does not have a CD Drive nor a floppy,
well USB floppy is present and working ;-)
All my current experiences to get my SCSI CD Drive connected via PCMCIA & a Adaptec SlimSCSi 1460 failed due insufficient drivers and entries on the boot disc !!!
Can U / one of you help me to get the installation w/5 CD's running ???
TIA for your prompt assistance to finish the XMas present ;-)

Re: About Windows 98
You're right, MSDOS has no built-in software for CD drives, although a close look at drive A: after using a boot cd will give you a big clue as to how it's done.
If you have Win98SE on an original CD (or identical backup of same) it will probably self-install if you set the computer BIOS to 'boot from cdrom' and WIN98SE setup just loads itself.
If you have a drive to 'clean', use Windows to copy over the CD's WIN98 directory into, say, C:\WIN98. That's enough to completely reinstall using C:\WIN98\SETUP.EXE, so anything else related to Windows can be deleted using DOS. Best of luck (I do this all the time) Rik.
