the one I linked I've only used from a Virtual Machine my laptop that runs win98 has the unofficial Service Pack that Patio links installed, and I've had no troubles with USB flash drives with it. Also, if the Live CD works, you can use that to copy the data off the computer's hard drive to the flash drive.Īlso, re the USB update. The basic idea is that booting from the CD it won't use or change anything on the hard drive, so if the USB works, we know it's a problem with the windows installation, and it if doesn't work we know we've been barking at a mailman statue. (I recall one other topic that went for 3 pages trying to simply burn the Disc). Only downside is the ISO files are rather hefty, also oftentimes when this route is suggested there are snags just getting the ISO burned. Then plug in a USB drive and see if it is detected. You can burn a disc, boot from it, and get a working OS environment. Third party patches are available to fix this shortcoming in Windows 9x.Linux is an operating system, but it is free. A software update fixed this shortcoming. In addition, Windows until XP without Service Pack is unable to handle hard drives that are over 137 GB in size with the default drivers, because of missing 48-bit LBA support – disc data corruption is likely. Windows 98 VCACHE is not designed to handle more than 1.0 GB of RAM without little changes.īoth Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE have problems running on hard drives bigger than 32 Gigabytes (GB) and certain Phoenix BIOS settings. Users can bypass hardware requirement checks with the undocumented /NM setup switch. This allows installation on computers with processors as old as the 80386.
16 MB of RAM (24 MB recommended, it's possible to run on 8 MB machines with /nm option used during the installation process).
