I have got an old compaq presario 1235 and I wanted to install windows 98 on it but I can’t find a tutorial on how to do it (and I surched multiple times to conform that I wasn’t missing anything so don’t try to just leave a link to a video and expect this to be done). Can someone help? (I can boot from a cd/dvd and I have one that should be big enough for making a boot able cd/dvd)
It’s pretty hard honestly — the biggest issue is finding a proper Windows 98 bootable CD in the first place.
Yes Win98 installs are old-school boot from a Win98 SE boot CD use FDISK to create a FAT32 partition, format it, then run SETUP from the CD.The Presario 1235 works fine with Win98 just be sure to grab chipset/video drivers after install
I have a cd and I have a disk drive in my computer that I can use to write data on the cd and I tried already but I couldn’t get the data on the disk. And I don’t know how to get a certain file that I need also.
