   My hd bombed this weekend – I want to install Win98 on a brand new disk.
   

   I upgraded from Win95 to Win 98 with the upgrade cd (I still have
   this…) and I remember
   reading somewhere the instructions on how to get an OEM type full
   install of Win98 from the
   upgrade disk.  Can anyone help me on this please ?

   Thanks

   Peter

   If you are talking about installing Win98 full, by using a win98 UPGRADE cd,
   you can simply put the CD in and run the setup and it will want to see your
   WIN95 CD, it will prompt you for it, take out the win98, put in the win95,
   it will read it, then it will continue on with the install, at which point
   you want to slide the win98 cd back into the drive instead of the win95.
   Done.

   The right way to do this is simply have your win95 CD or first floppy
   ready and you will be prompted to insert the disk to prove ownership.  I
   won’t go into the cheat method here.

   did you try a sys c: from the command prompt? This might fool the install
   into thinking 98 was already installed.

   Thanks – I don’t need the cheat as I have the 95 OEM CD.
