creating win98 floppys from CD

[kafass]

Need to create a set of installation floppy's of win98 from a CD. Any body know how???? Or can it be done

I've never heard of that being done ~ I wouldn't have thought it possible (but I wouldn't put any money on it).

Maybe if you post what you need them for we might be able to suggest how to get whatever wherever (but I wouldn't put any money on it). lol

All the best.

I know that you can do this with Win95, so I am assuming it works that same for win98. Try the following:

First step is to make the floppy disks.

You will need 29 floppy disks

Download Maxi Disk from the following

http://www.herne.com/

Then format all the disks to 1.7mb using Maxi Disk.

Now copy (not extract) to floppy CAB’s win_95 03 to win_95 28 (26 cab’s to 26 floppies).

Then copy (not extract) to one floppy file’s, precopy1 and precopy2.

Now send the rest of the files over two floppies (29 floppies in all)

Okay now you have your install disks.

Next to install you have to do the following,

Boot using a win98 boot disk to a command prompt. Then (assuming your HD is formatted) make a dir called "win98"

Then cd to that directory, and start copying all the files from the floppy disks into that directory.

Once this is done, run "setup.exe" from that directory.

This should work.
