why would you, starting from scratch, load 98 first? that can create a mess in itself :eek:
alot think the first has to be already installed, even with an upgrade copy you can do a fresh install, then file structure, drivers and ntfs can all be correct and in place. on load it will ask to see another disk (98, Me, NT, 2k, etc), spin it up to make sure its OK, then go about its way just like a full version. most everything Microsoft makes does this, including , say, office..

did the floppy work just fine before? is there xp drivers, say for the motherboard chipset and the likes that now need to be installed?
 
Hi Spikemic,

Thanks it worked, did fresh install using xp upgrade.

Cheers Stew.:)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
