Burning windows 98
Hello,
What speed should I chose when burning a bootable windows 98 SE cd-rw disk ?
Or doesn't that matter anyway ?
Hello,

4X is the usual speed recommend for a bootable CD/DVD. If not available, use the slowest speed offered.
Alright thank you.
Would it be too much of a problem to run it on a 40GB harddrive ?
And if so, are there any patches for it ?
Just so you guys know, I am using a real computer for this, an IBM ThinkPad T-21
I seem to be getting an error when windows 98 SE tries to format C:
'Error detected while formatting primary hard disk partition.'
I am using a HITACHI DK23DA-40F as the hardrive.
Update: I've got it working, formatted C: with ms dos prompt and then the disk passed all windows 98 Scandisk tests, it's installing now.
Does SE have SP1 already installed ?
Well I have a folder with the name 'win98sp1' on a disk.
Online ? maybe for fun.
I have an other problem now anyway, it does not have the correct usb drive, so I will try to send one with infrared, and burn it on a disk if that doesnt work.
Does not have the correct usb drive for what ?
As far as I remember Windows 98 doesn`t have the files for high speed internet, only dialup modem, but don`t quote me.
Let us know how it turns out.

High speed Internet should work if you can get network access. You will want to upgrade to Internet Explorer 6 even if you don't intend to use it. IE is a part of the OS, not just a browser.
