Here the disk should be filled with all needed drivers and W98 installation files,
and showed back into the libby.
I'm going to alter the advice a bit by insertion:

Oh... yes indeed! What am I thinking? I always load the istallation files to the HDD, and run setup from there once back in the Lib. Also, you don't need anything in the subdirectories of the X:\win98 directory on the CD. Saves a little more space on your HDD that way.
And regscan, there is no reason to believe that an older copy of the registry is
without fault just becuase a safe copy was made, it is only older due to a change.
I'm not familiar with running regscan. I think it may be set up automatically from Windows. But I gather that can both backup, and restore the resitry... or not? Is there any chance he might have more then one old copy of registry to reload?
Matt
