as many others here , i use win98 most of the time to use the defrag software because of the fact it defrags all files and lets no holes ;'] . i read what kind of patches and softwares some are making here , i had the idea of a software using rloew 64 bit ramdrive to do some faster defrag . the main idea for the defram disks is that the x64 hd is added to the partition of physical drive during the defragmentation . it came to me because defrag always uses the end of drive/partition to create the space for the file it will write . so with an example : if you have a pc with 12 Go of ram and a hd of 100 Go . you boot and install a 8 Go x64ramdisk , when defrag is launched the hard-drive gets the size of 108 Go . so instead of doing 2 reads writes on hd, it does only one because file is in memory for the reorder write . may be the defram disk can use another real disk or partition as temp in case the ramdrive is getting full . if ram is lower than 4 Go / may be a size option to make a skip files to ram . so main points for the software are : option : skip moving files no fragmented having a size above ... Mo option : temp disk on other drive with a gui like defrag win9x , it should have a second bar showing defram_disk level of use a third bar showing level of use of the temp disks

you do not need to create a bootable disk ; start by copying the driver to the disk A: ; then when xp-setup start it shows a line " press F6 for scsi driver" . do press F6 and it will use the driver of disk A: . with Nlite you can add driver to install of xp so you do not have to do the F6..

the title looks like you want ms virtual pc but your post is about vmware : the xp mode from there is free :] http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/

thx that was what to do : use a linux tool to boot windows [98] that makes me want to drop w7 and switch to linux

after having installed windows 7 on the same hard-drive i use for win98 , i do not see the line to boot in msdos or win98 . anybody knows how it is possible to add it ?

F-prot for windows says there is a possible virus in Taskmgr.exe http://www.f-prot.com/

i have made a new install of w98se , i want to install some updates from members , i worry about order of patching . is it that one : AutoPatcher98.Dec07.Final.exe AutoPatcher98.Dec08_UPGRADE.exe 236926usa8.exe 7510515.exe ME278289.EXE ME311430.EXE... of sys update W9xPP.zip sesp30b4-en.exe 98SE2ME.EXE ME280800.EXE DX90C.EXE MPSetup.exe / wmp9 DXM9X.EXE windowsmedia9-kb891122-x86-intl.exe ie6setup.exe 98MP10.EXE L3C.EXE msacm-fix-forWinMe.zip KernelEx-4.0-Final2.exe RP9Updates.exe RP9.exe rpXbeta2.zip

linux could help win9x by the fact source code is free . some people could try to make some drivers . more and more if you know that they are LARGELY BETTER than those of cards maker here is an exemple with ati AMD R600/700 2D Performance: Open vs. Closed Drivers http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=arti...00_2d&num=1 i think ati could send them some money for their great work

is it possible to have a zip file of KernelEx 4.0 Final2 ? i mean that allow to install it by hand . in the future will the patch allow to use the xp drivers for video and sound ? same question about the memory up to 4 Go and multi-cpu under 9x .
