What do i need in a boot disk?

After making a Win95 startup disk (do this from the control panel, add/remove programs, startup-disk tab), you will want to add four files to that floppy.

First, copy the file C:\windows\command\Mscdex.exe to A:\.

Second, create an Autoexec.bat file with the following line...

mscdex.exe /D:mscd001

Third, create a Config.sys file with the following line...

device=cdrom.sys /D:mscd001

Note: you can download the above 2 files to your Startup Floppy by clicking the links and saving to your A:\ drive.

Fourth, locate the DOS driver file for your specific CDROM drive. This file will be called xxxxx.sys (each cdrom has a unique driver file). Copy this file to your startup disk as CDROM.SYS. You can now boot with this floppy and you will have access to your CDROM without loading windows.

For your convenience, you can download this generic CDROM.SYS driver

You really cant, its not like a virus, where it destroys information...it STEALS your data such as passwords, documents or anything usually sending via internet email. Thats why i recommend downloading  "The Cleaners". Very good proggy that stays up-to-date with the latest trojans.

Well, it can happen..here's some links that can provide you with certain hard to find files:

DLL's/VB

OCX/DLL

OCX/ActiveX

NOTE: If you bought the Windows 98 upgrade, you can still perform a clean install. You'll just have to insert your Windows 95 CD (or floppy disk 1) during installation to prove you are truly upgrading.

Upgrading:Before you Start

1.Uninstall any antivirus software.(Check autoexec.bat,config.sys.win.ini)

2.Run scandisk and enable error checking under properties.

3.Close all programs, disable screensave/active desktop.

4.Have an empty floppy. Windows 98 will create a bootdisk.

NOTE: Windows 98 CAN be uninstalled if...
1. You upgraded from a previous version of Windows 2. You chose the "save uninstall information" option during Windows 98 setup (this creates the Winundo.dat and Winundo.ini files that contain uninstall info).

I recommend Celerons for overclocking. Cheap, easy, fast and very flexiable when overclocking. Abit BH6/BX6 motherboard works in sync w/a celeron nicely. Also good PC100 sdram(Samsung preferably) will make your slow celery into a Speed Demon!
