Gaffer-
I have the driver for the CDROM that is in the Solo 5300 and I have the
folder Win98. How do I create a bootable CD? I have tried to create one
using some google searches(some of Bart's stuff), but I just ain't got it in
the brain to do it right, or at least I am a tad confused. Thanks for the
input.
Jim

Hi Jim,
If you can create a bootable CD with the CD driver and the contents of
the "Win98" directory on it you will be able to clean install from the
CD.
Or if your machine can boot from USB and your USB thumb drive is big
enough you can do the same trick.
Or just boot from the USB thumb drive and install from the CD drive.
Although I would prefer to copy the CD "Win98" folder to the hard drive
and install from there !
