Clint, have you tried looking at any other competitors products, perhaps someone else makes a better product than Take2 or at the very least one that does run on 98. I never used ezcd or even take2 for that matter, I use Ghost for cloning drives myself, and I know Roxio has never been interested in what was the OS of choice 2 years ago or at any time for that matter (they told a client of mine to upgrade to XP from win2k so that they could better meet their support needs).
