Hi Bob, Your instructions are very clear. I've attempted to locate an old Win 98SE
boot disk that I had, can't find it. There is a site (www.bootdisk.com) that offers
free boot disks. There are 2 available for Win 98SE, the OEM version, and a custom
one without ramdrive - which would you suggest I use?
