<p><b>How to reinstall WIN98 from the HDD </b>

Debug/Fdisk/Format drive as you normally do, the boot the system with CD-ROM support in DOS.

Make a new directory on the hard drive using the following command:

<b>MD C:\WIN98</b> [enter]

Log on to the CD-ROM drive and insert the WIN98 CD:

<b>X:</b> [enter] (X is the assigned drive letter to the CD-ROM, Usually D:)

Change to the WIN98 folder on the cd-rom:

<b>CD WIN98 </b>[enter]

Copy the files in the X:\WIN98 folder to the C:\WIN98 folder: this will copy approximately 94 to 104 files (depending on version)

<b>copy *.* c:\win98</b> [enter]

Log on to the Hard Drive:

<b>C:</b> [enter]

Change to the WIN98 folder:

<b>cd WIN98 </b>[enter]

At the C:\WIN98\> prompt type the following command:

<b>setup /ie /is</b> [enter] (This disables scandisk at the beginning of the setup & disables making a boot disk)

This process has a few added benifits, the installation is faster, Windows remembers where it is installed from & will not require inserting the CD-ROM for driver installations.

DOS commands are listed in <b>BOLD</b> type. </p>
