Subject: Re: Need to reinstall Windows to Libretto 100CT
I recently tried to upgrade a Portege 3020ct to Win98, and it was a bear,
only because I didn't have the right tools. I have *full* Win98 CD-ROMs, not
*upgrade* CD-ROMS.
What I wound up doing was nuking the WIn95 install as much as possible (did
you knoww there are hidden, zero-length files in some directories that the
'del' command can not remove?
Anyway, after infliciting major damage by deleting everything I could, and
renaming directories I couldn't empty, I was able to install Win98 on my
machine from a CD-ROM image copied onto my local HD over a network
connection.
Does anyone know how to *upgrade* a Win95 install with a Win98
*full-version* CD? By default, it can not be done (Win98 setup finds the OS
and aborts)...
Thanks,
Ken
