i was wondering if anyone knew how to make a windows 98 cd. if at all possible
my aunt has me working on her comp and it seems the only fix for all her problems is to reinstall windows.
only problem is, i don't think it would handle windows xp, and i don't think she could handle it neither.
it took her long enough just to get used to 98
and i don't have a windows 98 cd, she does not have her original one, and i have no idea where i could actually buy one

is there any way to actually make your own?

she has her own product key and all, just no cd

i appreciate all the help

also, in case i run into a problem like this in the future, as i am starting to work on peoples computers a lot more, does anyone know of a way to make the other windows cd's?

and, as a side note, i was also under the understanding that you can use the same windows cd for whatever computers you want as long as the person who owns the computer has their own product key. is that right?

thanks
 
a lot of times the contents of a win 98 CD were stored in c:\windows\options\cabs If this is the case you can simply copy those contents to a CD, and then run setup from that folder

well, one problem she has been having has been with what i think to be virus and/or spyware related
if that's the case, when i copied them files onto a cd, would it keep the virus/spyware problem?

Just grab a copy from eBay, you'll get it for pennies.

You'll also need the product key in order to install the OS.
