     Installing Windows From CAB Files On Your Hard Drive

If you want to reinstall Windows and you don't have a Windows CD, try this:
C:
DIR  WIN98_74.CAB  /S

If it says "File not found", buy a Windows CD.


If it doesn't say "File not found", write down what it says and post that here.
(Expecting something like Directory of C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS.)



To reinstall Windows, you will need your Windows Product key.
When you have it, WRITE IT DOWN
and put a copy of it with your jewelry and other VALUABLES.

Here are 3 ways to locate it on your hard drive:
