Changes & Installation & Information

First: Always read the manufacturer's instructions and follow them - if I disagree then they are correct

Second: Make backups of your system or at least all important information before doing anything. A reinstall is always a way out. That includes data files and drivers you may need for a reinstall

Third: Make a boot disk which includes your CD -ROM drivers. You should have one of these always. Never know when it'll be needed

Fourth: Make sure you have the win95/win98 recovery disk which should have been generated during install.

Fifth: Make sure you access BIOS and turn off BIOS virus check if it is on. Win95/98 install will write to the bootsector and the BIOS virus check might not like it. This is required for installation and transfer of WIN95/Win98

Note: Special information is provided where there are differences between win95 and win98
