BLOG: Installing Windows 9x/Me

Posted on 13:18 by Unknown
I do not have access to install Windows 9x/Me to any computer nor do I currently have the software to perform the task involved. However, I have found the following link:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221829

This supports questions and answers regarding a clean install of Windows 98 including the following:

SUMMARY
MORE INFORMATION
Determine Which Product to Use
Minimum Hardware Requirements to Install Windows 98
System Updates, Device Drivers, and Other Considerations
CMOS Antivirus Utility
Drive Overlay Software
System Updates and Device Drivers
Real-Mode CD-ROM Support
How to Prepare the Hard Disk for the Windows 98 Installation Procedure
How to Partition the Hard Disk
How to Install Windows 98
REFERENCES

This is directly from Microsoft, for a clean install with no operating system.


In regards to expected problems and solutions and technical questions, I found this link to be productive: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/ and then doing a search for 98 installation.

I also found more information at http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=ph;en-us;1139 which is the solution center which gives much more information

Non Microsoft I found one exceptionally good site that gives step by step advice on upgrading:

Other sites:

http://www.informationweek.com/news/windows/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=14700253
http://www.windowsreinstall.com/

In regards to time to install, I would block out an entire afternoon to get everything working properly, 2 hours minimum!
