doug Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 My No.2 daughter's old HP PC was passed on to a friend some while back. Things have now come home to roost. I've been asked to sort it out so a re-format is called for. It runs W98SE. All the driver disks are to hand but I need to get hold of all the updates since the SE disk was issued. Any help out there? >Boris you've been tinkering around with renovating old PC's any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think I have some on file on my old W89 machine. If you PMed me your address I could try putting them on a cd for you, if any easier route fails.You may be lucky here ;-http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/ph/1139?sid=1020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I remember that reinstalling Windows 98 was real easy if you did it with a batch setup script. Run Batch98 on the existing Windows 98 installation, save the resulting bsetup.inf file on the boot floppy, then reinstall Windows 98 with the setup script as a parameter, e.g.E:\setup.exe /is A:\bsetup.infI remember that I always modified (added) the Display and Monitor options in the setup script to make the Windows installation even faster. See some of my very old notes on the equally old web pages from 1995: H:\setup.exe /is C:\Windows\bsetup.inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
