- Reinstalling upgrade
- Posted by David M. on February 18th, 2005
I have an old computer with win 95 on it. I upgraded to 98, then let it get
updates from MS. It would not boot, so i did fdisk and format, now I can't
reinstall 98 without proof of 85, and I don't have the disk. Help!!

I wonder if it can be fooled like the old w95 upgrades. There were a
few known ways to do it but this one might work??? Easy to try anyway.
Create a Notepad file and type in some random characters, it don't
matter, save it as win386.exe . Put this file in the root folder of
your formated drive (save it on a diskette and when in DOS copy it to
C:\) Now try updating. No saying it's gonna work but no harm trying.
Let us know if it works, I'm curious...

Kind of thought that MS would have caught on to that very quickly! Oh
well, probably is a way to fool it but I don't know how. Time to spend
$10 on ebay for w95...
