Hello!
I've an aged Compaq LTE 5300, pre-USB and no Compact disc push. That'h the challenging component!
Active@ Boot Disk (Live CD ) is a bootable Windows LiveCD /DVD/USB/ Flash for system recovery purposes. Active@ Boot Disk (Live CD ) is a bootable Windows LiveCD /DVD/USB/ Flash for system recovery purposes. Use Active@ Boot Disk (Live CD) to recover.
The tough get that has been in the system died a lengthy time ago but I can boot off a floppy. I've changed out out the outdated drive with a practical IDE push and the BIOS detects the fresh drive just great. The capture is certainly that there's no Operating-system on the IDE drive!
Today for the fun part!
I require to install Windows 98SE onto the travel without attempting to discover a floppy get that I can link to a modern machine or some strange adapter to obtain the old device to find a USB push. Generally there's a lot of lessons on making a Gain98 USB install push, but that's not really what I am after. I can also discover how to make a Gain98 boot disk, but that just puts me into 2, it still requires a seperate drive to keep the install files so this is certainly not an option either. The instructions all seem to would like to possess you either set up from Compact disc or USB to the C:, fine but not really useful.
I've an IDE to USB adapter and my Home windows 10 device sees the IDE push just okay(At the: on my system). I've the Home windows 98SAt the disk in the CD get on the Get10 machine (F: on my system).
My objective is certainly to set up Win98SE onto the USB linked IDE generate(E:). The problem I face is definitely that when I run setup on the Gain98 commute (F:), it earned't operate because it considers I want to set up it onto the C Push which can be working a considerably more current Operating-system than the aged Get98.
Will anyone understand of a method to install Gain98SE onto what is usually generally a USB drive therefore that you can boot from that travel into Gain98? Think Windows-to-go but outdated college.
If I can get a bootable set up of Gain98SE onto the USB linked IDE push, I should become capable to come back that get to the older Compaq device and have got a functioning system once again. It would become wonderful to breathing some daily life into this older woman, I'd detest to waste an otherwise functional machine due to the lack of a USB port or a stack of older Win98SE install floppies.
