As recommended above, I'd definitely steer clear of the Windows Millenium Edition boot ISO and OS. Windows 98 and Windows 2000 are clearly your best bets both for bootable rescue-type ISO's and for installation OS's. After installation, you may want to install you CD-ROM software on your hard disk drive so you can use it from a direct boot-up to the DOS prompt. Boot to the DOS by holding the Ctrl key as the computer boots or pressing the F8 key just as Windows 98 starts and install form the manufacture's floppy.

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops () Hi, I have a real challenge! I have a laptop that has XP installed on it. This has been provided by my employer and is locked down. I also want to use the PC for domestic use using Windows98. I have Windows98 on a bootable 2.5in disk, but the laptop doesn't enable easy change of fixed disk. So, I have put the 2.5 inch drive in a case with USB attachement. What I want to do is create a bootable CD that brings up just enough functionality to recognise the USB attached drive and then use it as the primary boot drive, loading the rest of Windows 98 from it.(when using Windows 98 I do not want to access the internal (XP) hard drive).

By the way, the PC doesn't appear to have USB boot option (in the BIOS). I tried (on another PC) creating a nootable Windows98 diskette and then having booted from it used DUSE.EXE to recognise the USB.it recognised the disk but couldn't mount it for some reason. (The disk is recognised when I plug it into the USB port when XP is running). And that is as far as I have got. Any help would be much appreciated. Remember, I cannot touch the internal drive.e.g. No option to install boot management s/w etc.

Best regards, Tim. Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops () -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tim, I would check to see if the Ultimate BootDisk has USB support for your chipset.

W98 only boots off a DOS C;. Even if the original W98 install on the 2.5 drive was put on another partition with only booting off C;, upon boot, from the USB, the drive letters must still correspond correctly (reference to original C; ). Otherwise Windows can't find all its files. E.g., if the USB drivers see the XP drive then that may have become DOS C; So, the question is, what drive letters does the USB boot give' And once started up, W98 may try to install its own USB drivers and thus the rearrange drive the letters yet its internal files are all referenced to a C:! DOS USB drivers in the W98 config.sys and autoexec.bat may be worth a try for this.
