It's almost impossible for you to get away with not using these utilities on a serious Windows 98 build. Use a virtualization program unless you plan on buying a pc that properly supports Windows 98SE.įor starters you would need at least 4 non-free patches from our good friend rloew to support your RAM, SATA, 1TB HDD and so on. You're computer is way too new and lacks any proper drivers for Windows 98. You will need a universal flash drive driver and software to recognize NTFS drives for Windows 98 since the old OS only supports FAT32 at best. This probably won't help you much, but there are generic display drivers such as VBEMP or DisplayDoctor (Which I believe isn't available to download anymore, so VBEMP would be your only option). Your computer is simply way too new to run Windows 98SE. Sadly, there's no way to properly run Windows 98SE on your pc besides using VMWare player (Could use pro version), VirtualBox, or Microsoft Virtual Pc 2007. Windows 98 will not boot with over 1.5gb ram, doesn't support multiple cores, doesn't support SATA hard drives and requires something like IDE in bios (Some computers don't have this option), won't recognize hard drives over 130gb I think, not only that, most modern pc's and laptop's newer than ~2006/2007 won't have proper drivers if you manage to install it. You're computer is way too new and will have serious issues with Windows 98.
