Guest ajcend Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Okay so as wierd as this may sound, I want ot install windows 98 -more so I need too. To install XP I have to upgrade, so I have to install windows 98 first. Anyone know how or has tried it and has tips, etc?
Guest Stuart_f Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 I don't think you need to install win98. AFAIK all you have to do is prove you own win98 and it'll be happy. The installer should prompt you to insert the 98 disk during the install and it'll install XP on a clean hard drive. Standing by to be wrong but it worked that way for me when I tried it many many moons ago.
Guest mandt Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah you just run from the upgrade disc and when it asks you for an original copy of a previous version of Windows swap the disc for the Win98 one, once it has copied the files it needs (from the i386 folder IIRC) swap them back again.
