Yes I wasn't aware that the Win98SE CD was bootable until the other day, check out my link in a previous post. |None of mine came with bootable MS-DOS files. When I say bootable I don't mean to MS-DOS I mean you can install Win98 when the computer starts up providing you have set the boot sequence in the BIOS, I'm still going to say BIOS gewg. I tried mine the other day after that post in the other forum. You are given the option to use CD Rom support which you will need. WinME CD's are bootable as well.
