glowiak Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hello, I want to install win98 on my laptop for some reasons (reactos doesn't see my disk and I want to check how minecraft would work on win98), I already have FreeDOS 1.3RC4 with Windows 3.1 installed here. What I did: 1.Created new 6gb FAT partition on my usb and extacted win98 iso to it with p7zip 2.Plugged the usb to the laptop 3.Ran "SETUP /IS /NM" as a video on yt suggested 4.Setup ran, but after I clicked the button to start the installation, on top of the screen appeared texts like "Checking drive A...", and everything except mouse froze. This was on FreeDOS 1.3RC4 with JEMM386 memory manager enabled (this one I use for win3.1). Laptop's specs are: Name: Dell Latitude E7240 Processor: Intel core i5 vpro 2.00GHz (as I can trust neofetch) RAM: 8gb Disk: 488gb SSD CDROM: no Is there any way to install WIN98 on this laptop or something like Integral Edition for XP (that installed fine at first try, but later something broke and I cannot install it anymore). Thanks in advance. PS i don't use xp: I don't use XP. My main OS is FreeBSD, but it isn't on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gansangriff Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Wouldn't it be better to use Windows 98 in a virtual machine? Because the laptop is quite new, and Windows 98 drivers won't be available. But a VM wouldn't have the best performance for testing Minecraft.
