So has anyone ironed out all the issues? Almost done with my multi-boot but considering waiting for this if someone managed to get it working 100%
0 -
Yep. Had to format before running setup
Working perfectly now. Appreciate the help!0 -
ok cool. got it working but I think I do have to setup a partition first (unformatted) unlike winxp where i can set up the partition during text setup. or is it not that way?

Below is what I'm using now but I get errors about "bad command or file name" after getting to "Loading...". I'm guessing it's not finding setup.exe. What do you think? I don't get it though. i have the autoexec pointing to "\SETUP\98SE\" which is where the setup.exe file is located.

thanks for the Help! Got some questions...
I'm still not sure what line I'm supposed to be editing to setup.exe to the necessary files.
What is this line for?
IF "%config%"=="SETUP_CD" goto AUTOSETUP
Is the "SETUP_CD" line for the folder where the os files are saved?
My folder structure...
\SETUP\98SE\ - then just the files that are necessary for setup
What about this line?
cd \WIN98\WIN98
Is that where I'm supposed to change it to \SETUP\98SE\?

I get this error after following the steps using VMWare...
I'm not sure if there were any necessary steps that were overlooked in this section. Can anyone comment on this?
#1 I have alot more in my autoexec (at the end of this). Plus, there is no mention as to what I have to do about the path of the actual 98 setup folder. I'm guessing it's this line I'm supposed to change...
path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%CDROM%:\SETUP\98SE\
Right?
It's been a while but I don't remember if I needed a formatted partition before I can set up Win98. I'm guessing that's the reason why I'm getting the error from above. What do you guys think.
Autoexec.bat details...

I probably should have read that part of the guide

I pretty much followed flyakite's tutorial to make a custom one. After a bit of work, I finally got a boot disk working. Now my only issue is that I'm not sure how to get a unattended installation work on multi boot dvd. Anyone care to help?

Alright, thanks guys. I guess I'll stick with replacing the termsrv with the older file
0 -
Is there still no better way of doing this? Just want to make sure before I go ahead and replace it on my bro's computer. Rather not use a older version of a file if it isn't necessary.

Card? The sata drives are connected to the board directly but not in RAID mode. I do have DiskDirector 9. Drives are recognized in Windows but not when booting off the boot disk.

Neither of these apps recognize my SATA drives when booting off a cd. I spent enough time trying to get the images into a boot dvd only to find out it doesn't recognize the drive anyway. Oh well. What are some of your recommendations?
0 -
so only those two files are actually necessary? Just that there is a lot more in that zip file.

yeah but he does not mention the folders when he mentions what the layout should look like nor is it in his "my dvd layout" link. Just was wondering if the other folders are necessary.
0 -
the tutorial only really mentions the i386 and programs folders and where they should be placed but it's not clear to me where to put the other 4 folders. Do I just place these in the root as well (referring to folders: BART, BIN, EXECUTE and UTILITY)
none of these folders are listed in "My DVD Layout"

Looks like none of the links work in the original post. Anyone have a working link for the termsrv.dll?
Still looking for it
