wizy Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Before I go on with this post I want to make sure everyone knows that I am NOT asking for hirens cd. I am not asking about getting pirated software. I am merely wondering if anyone has information on Mini98.With that out of the way on to my question. I see on hirens bootcd 7 (the latest version) it has a bootable Mini98. It is under 13 megs and runs very quickly. It can run off of ramdisk or the c: drive (it copies itself to the c drive then runs.)I want to know if anyone knows anything about this. Did he make it himself or is this a well known version? I know of a few tutorials on making bootable windows 98 cds, but none of them come close to the ease, speed, and size of this one.I am wanting to make a bootable windows 98 cd for repair work on older systems where a bartpe disc is not a good idea. So any information on this Mini98 would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizy Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I wasnt really wanting to discuss hirens cd, thats just the only place I have seen a good working bootable win98 that runs from ramdisk and is that small.It was merely a point of reference.

wizy Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I did the Nano98 tutorial from http://www.etek.chalmers.se/~e8gus/nano98/ After the reboot once I finished it windows starts to load and I get the logo.sys coming up and animating, it then flashes a message across the screen real quick and shuts down. The message is:You can now safely turn off your computer. If you want to restart your computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL.Anyone have any ideas here?

gamehead200 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Why did you have to start a new topic when the other one was perfectly fine??[ Merged. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizy Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 I started a new one because mini98 and nano98 are different projects. If you dont want that, its cool with me, I can keep it all as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
