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
Bit Torrent is illegal and not many people know about it in the first place. Please refrain from promoting crime.
Re: About Windows 98
Bit Torrent is not illegal. If you have a right to use the file you download, like a backup, there's no problem. Where people get into trouble is downloading copyrighted material they didn't pay for or otherwise acquire a license or right to use.
Re: About Windows 98
Using BitTorrent is legal; downloading pirated/copyrighted files is not. Please be careful about what you download.
About Windows 98
Hello, Please Urgent Help!
I decided to format my hard drive because I had so much trash on it that I only saved a few files. So, I formatted my hard drive thru MS-DOS and I tried to install windows 98 SE again. However, When I was installing Win 98SE and the OS files were coping to my hard drive; a window pop-up saying the following:
"The Installation Program cannot copy the files from the Windows 98 CD-ROM. Clean and Reinsert the CD, then click OK. If this message appears again, read the section of CAB errors located in the file SETUP.TXT from the Win98 directory of the CD."
I read the setup.txt file but I cannot figure out what it's the issue. I know that CAB files are some of the system files but I don't you what it's their specific function.
What can I do? My CD is clean and scratch-free. How can I install the OS then?
Thanks.

Re: About Windows 98
Hello
my problem is the following:
I´d like to format my hard drive and re-install win98se on it, but before i do that, i enter DOS to check if i could run the win98 CD from it, and i couldn´t. It doesn´t recognise the CDROM drive. How can i do to make it work? do i need to load any drivers?
I would thank if anyone could help me.

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.
