Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / July 2007Need Win98 CD
Where can I get a download for a new Win98 CD? Mine (that came with the computer) is cracked and I need it to set up a wireless network. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! | Where can I get a download for a new Win98 CD? Mine (that came with | the computer) is cracked and I need it to set up a wireless network. | Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! (1) I guess you can try contacting MS & tell them yours is cracked. Swear to them some day you will buy an irradiated XP-machine, & perhaps they will replace that. Otherwise... (2) Check whether the .cab's actually are already on your hard drive. At a DOS Prompt, enter "DIR /s /a C:\base4.cab", thus... C:\>DIR /s /a C:\base4.cab Directory of C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS BASE4 CAB 168,960 04-23-99 10:22p BASE4.CAB 1 file(s) 168,960 bytes It tells you the folder that has Base4.cab. Go to that folder in Explorer. If it has a ton more .cab files & a Setup.exe file-- that's it! You've got it! (3) Otherwise, you must go to EBAY & see whether you can buy one.

I provided another response in the other newsgroup you posted to. SignatureRegards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 > | Where can I get a download for a new Win98 CD?

Or, if you can find one, do as I did and just copy the CD to your HDD, if you can spare the room. Then the next time that Windows wants you to insert the CD, just point it to that location and you won't have to bother using the cd. > Where can I get a download for a new Win98 CD?

Then you use the cd copy of the Win98 cd that you made. Sorry, I should have worded it differently. Not legit, since that would constitute a second installation of that same copy of Windows.

Since the OP has their own license, I don't believe that there would be a problem using another persons Win98 cd and making a copy of it. Isn't the license the sticking point? *Technically* no.
