Neighbor lady gave me her old compaq presario 2286 computer
which had win 98 installed on it.She also gave me a box of goodies.
In the box was a "compaq cd for microsoft windows 98 second edition"
operating system, still in a sealed enevlope. My thought was to do a
new install and put win 98 sc on the computer.
Here is what I did to install win98 sc.
1. made a boot disk with win98
2. formated the hd and partitation it as "c" drive
3. put the cd in the cd drive
4. typed in "setup.exe" , the light on the cd drive
blinks once and did not install win98 sc.
I know that the "quick restore" cd (that was in the box) will only
restore on the persarino 2286.
I have 2 questions:
1. does that mean that the win98 sc cd is only going to install on
another compaq computer, what ever that model is?
2. If so, is there a way to work around and install win98 sc
on this persario 2286?
Any help or ideas will be appreciated.
