And you find it "queer" that Windows 98 has issues with that? As my good friend Mr.Spock would say: Fascinating... See if any of these help you: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/149743-question-about-using-a-sata-drive-with-windows-98se/ http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/172569-sata-installation/ http://reboot.pro/topic/2384-alter-group-universal-ata-driver-for-windows-nt351nt42000xp/ It is entirely possible that a specific "manufacturer" driver for your motherboard exists, you need to post the EXACT details of the hardware involved. jaclaz no, I am not finding it weird, it is expected. I don't even want to acess the SATA drive. I was just asking if there is a way to disable the SATA drive on Windows 98 so it is not detected and proceed with the normal boot process

It is set to SATA, not compatible mode. Because the setup is: One IDE drive, one SATA drive, one IDE CD-RW and one IDE DVD. If I set to compatibility mode, I would disable one of those.

I currently have a P4 with two drives: a 10GB IDE for Windows 98, and a 80GB SATA one where I intend to install Windows 2000. Even though the computer boots normally when I turn it on without the SATA drive, when I connect the SATA drive, Windows 98 detects a new IDE controller (fifo) and then crashes, and I can't proceed as it halts the system and I have to reset. Is there a way to fix this?

yes. i have tried a lot of newer and older versions

I can't use properly Daemon Tools on my P3 computer. I install it, and when I click "Mount image" the program closes. I have already tried PowerIso, MagicIso etc and I get errors in all of them

I was restoring an old AT style P1 with a 2gb western digital drive but i can't install msdos6.22 on it. It says: cannot acess drive c: I have used western digital software to setup it properly and it works for some time and after that, i can''t acess the drive. Is there any good software to restore bad sectors etc?

....... 5- I don't know where i found those filess. What is it? Have you selected in folder options -> "show hidden files and folders" and "hide protected operating system files"? Nope. But what should i do when i find it?

1- Win98 C: WinXP D: 2- C drive is 30gb and D drive is 90 gb 3- Exactly, IDE mode set to SATA and Secondary IDE for the DVD drive 4- Yes. Those files are on drive C: I can select whether to boot to Windows 98 or XP. If i put 98, the error occurs. 5- I don't know where i found those filess. What is it?

I used to have an IDE hd in this P4 running Windows 98SE and windows 2000 in dualboot. Then Windows 98 stoped working and Windows 2000 was fine. I reformated the hard drive and it had bad sectors so i decided to put this SATA drive. For about 2 weeks this computer was working alright with Windows 98 and Windows XP in dualboot. However today, i can only boot to Windows XP. If i boot to 98, it says: Cannot read from disk sector c. Abort, retry, fail. I can boot to Windows XP normally and acess data from c: (where 98 is installed). But i can't boot into 98. What should i do? What if when reformating this drive, it stops working like the previous one?

Would you recomend this or the SP3?

Yes! It's an old Seagate Barracuda, 6GB noisy as hell! Should i put the delay bigger than that or that is ok? EDIT: I can't find that folder in the registry

I have this P3, 256 mb RAM, NVIDIA TNT2 with Windows 98 SE. I have installed Unofficial Service Pack 3 and it runs really well. However, after some reboots, it says, Windows Registry Error, it reboots and the computer gets crazy, some programs stop working etc. I have reinstalled windows 6 times and at the last one, i went to msconfig and diabled scanregw. However, i rebooted it and it boot to an MSDOS window and restored a backup of the registry. it is now crazy again! Help me! I'm losing my temper!

Hey! I got this laptop with a amd k6-3 and 32 mb of ram. However, i only have a dial-ip modem in it and i want to put a PCMCIA wi-fi adapter on it. However, i don't know any good one to buy. Help me plz!

Actually it is a very interesting approach. The given link is about haveing the Dreamcast as "client" and the Windows Machine (with both the dial-up modem AND the "broadband", let's say DSL connection, as "server"). Now, if I get it right you want the Satellite to become a "Dreamcast" (client ) and the P4 become the "server". So, *somehow* you must "translate" this set of instructions: http://www.maturion.de/dreamcast/mterlouw/dcisp.htm to the Satellite running Windows 98 And apply these sets of instructions: http://www.maturion.de/dreamcast/mterlouw/trickwin.htm http://www.maturion.de/dreamcast/mterlouw/inconect.htm http://www.maturion.de/dreamcast/mterlouw/connect.htm to the P4 machine. BUT, there is the possibilty that one of the two modems (or both) have an issue with the (missing) phone line, so it is possible that you will need the "Modem Line Voltage Simulator". See also this: http://www.jagshouse.com/modem.html and this: http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-31/pc-to-pc-via-modem-article-here/10182.html Have you made some tests with Hyperterminal (or similar)? jaclaz I have already tried to "translate" some definitons but one problem is: what number should i dial?? I have made all the things in my P4 in order that him can receive incoming calls. And yes, I have tried HyperTerminal with both computers and i was able to establish a connection with my moblie phone.

I'm not entirely sure what configuration you're trying, but the obvious thing would be to get a PCMCIA Ethernet adaptor, then you could network your two computers together (simplest connection is using just a cross-over cable). Joe. I have thought about it too, but I saw a tutorial where i could use my dial up modem to allow my SEGA Dreamcast to connect to the Internet using my connection in the other computer http://www.maturion.de/dreamcast/mterlouw/

I have recently been given a Toshiba Sattelite s1620cds where i installed windows 98 SE with service pack 3 and it's working great. However, it only have a dial-up port in order to get to the internet. It also has 2 PCMCIA slot. I also have a P4 where I have dual boot Windows 98SE SP3 and Windows XP SP3. in this one, i have LAN and a Internal DialUp modem as well. My question is: Is there any way to connect my laptop to my desktop using a dialup connection, and using the conncetion I have on my desktop? I have heard some things about accepting incoming calls in windows XP and Dial Up server in windows 98 bbut none of them work. Any help would be apreciated!

When you run Windows 95 on a computer whose cpu is over 2.2 GHZ you have to appl a patch in order to get it to work. Search this forum in the 9x Member Projects section and you will find help

No yellow question mark. It only appears at the network adapter section without any problmes. However, when i open windows 98 dial up setup it shows that there are not any modem installed

I have a Dial Up adapter in my PC with windows 98. In the device manager, it appears as a network adapter named Dial up adapter. However, i need it to be identified as a modem so i can use the dial up server tool to create a host to connect my dreamcast to the internet. How can i even know thee adapter name?

Is there any way to acess my pen drives and cd/dvd in MsDos Mode in Windows 98? I really want to acesse those devices! Kind Regards

By installing this, does it includes Windows Update files? Or can I install this and later the things I have downloaded from windows update?

I have SP3 Beta 4 installed. May i install the final version on top of it, or does it creates problems?

DONE! I reinstalled Direct X and updated it with June 2006 PAtch and it worked perfectly! Thanks! The problems missing are: How do i activate thumbnails in windows explorer How do i set up my dial-up adaptor?

You have a printscreen attached. What now?

When I open the installer it says: Do you really want to unisntall the drivers? Should I uninstall and install it again?
