Let's start with this: Given you don't have a Windows 98 CD, what is your recovery plan if some files get scrambled?
This is a concern either way.
If the OS was installed proper, all the .CAB files will be on the hard disk and you won't have much of an issue. That is, until the hard disk stops spinning or some virus wipes the drive.
I'd work your emergency issues unless you don't feel the need to.

I have just bought a JP260 10 button USB gamepad. I have a computer that came without a Win98 cd-rom disk because the computer came with it installed(I was assured this was legal). Anyway, how can I install the driver that Win98 comes with-without the Win98 cd-rom.
Help please.
