This software refuses to install saying it needs
98SE and FE is currently installed.
I would switch it to XP if I thought the BIOS would handle it. But it needs more ram as well.
I ran across this on another forum:
"A trick we used in the shop when I used to work as a tech to upgrade 98 with 98SE OEM was to simply go to your Windows dir and delete win.com. Then, install Windows 98SE in the same directory that 98 is installed. Since win.com is gone, it won't complain about being an upgrade and it will still use the existing registry and program files so you won't have to re-install a thing. I must warn you, this generally worked 9 times out of 10, but there was a rare few times when I ended up with a corrupt install so use this trick at your own risk."
Has anyone tried this?
I'll copy the entire drive before doing it, I just don't want to waste 2 hours finding out it won't install, because it's not an upgrade.
