Okay, heres the problem, the computer I have at home was bought from a friend of mine, she gave me all the disks she had, this was a year ago, well last week my hard drive crashed and burned so I had a new one installed and set up etc.etc. but guess what I dont have windows 98 start up disk, the guy that did the work forgot to load it, now what the heck do I do . I have no start up disk of course I could drive 30min. but there has to be a easier way. Anyone with any ideas please please help. Any suggestions are very welcome. I need all you knights to come to the damsel in distress. Not lit. yall;) :tongue2:

Did you unzip the file you downloaded to a floppy?

**Tweetybird** · 09-25-2002, 07:59 AM

Okay Speedo , now that you have made me feel like a idiot, what the hell do you mean?!!!! Did I unzip what! And why would I unzip it in the first place.LOL:bandit:

The file is in Zip format.

Go here and download the evaluation version.

Double click it after you download it to install it.

After installation double click the boot disk file and you want to extract it to a blank floppy.
