my came with Windows 98SE Pre-installed. I want to reformat. I do not have the 98SE disc. CAn I make a copy of it somehow from the cab files already on the system? And if so how?

download a better OS such as 2000, or XP pro, and get a cd key for it online.

piracy rules

(go with XP pro)

or if your computer is slow, go with 2000 pro.

i have ME =(

I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU... that is digusting, one time when I was standing in line and some guy was paying $200 for win ME, I died laughing.

yeah... and my dad wont let me pirate XP... he wants to either borrow the disc from a friend or buy it. what a lamer.

where would you guys recommend downloading at least windows 2000 from?

just do it, say you borrowed a disc from me.

usually, any of the file sharing programs out there... soulseek, ect.... we could get you a cd-key no problem.

cool deal... I will try soulseek tonight.... I like the ways windows 98 is set up and am not into XP at all so I guess 2000 is the closest thing. I use it here at work and like it.... so if I get 2000 someone could hook me up with a key??

yeah man... there are a bunch of places to get keys from

cool thanks

yeah, you're probably gonna find a BIN file in soulseek, or an ISO... you'll need a burning program that lets you burn IMAGE's to a cd. Don't forget to download the .CUE file that goes along with the BIN, or ISO.

ok

I have a xp pro sp1 cd.
what speed is your computer to have win98se on it?

you need ATLEAST 256MB ram for XP with a 400MHz processor.
I suggest going with 512MB at least.

also, XP pro runs much better and faster than 2000 pro as long as you have the RAM for it. plus a lot more things are compatible with it.
