Extract all the DOS boot files to the root of the USB drive (which should be in the CSM mode). More details in Tutorial 117 on my RMPrepUSB site.Ĥ. Use Easy2Boot v1.18 or later (it will be available in a few days.) UltraISO or Daemon Pro so the boot sectors are still present (just leave the \Win98 folder and the files in the root).ģ. Remove all extra folders from the ISO using an ISO tool - e.g. OEM ISO, many others are not bootable) working with E2B (even an NTFS USB E2B drive), do the following:ġ. So, in summary, to get a bootable Win98SE Install ISO (e.g. isoDOS but swaps over the USB flash drive with the internal hard disk so that DOS sees the internal hard disk as the first hard disk. To fix this, E2B v1.18 will now recognise the new. It still booted to the internal hard disk, but only when I booted from my USB drive! So when I tried to install Win98, it kindly made the 2nd FAT partition which I happened to have on my USB flash drive, active and put the DOS boots files on it!
The second problem was that the first disk drive seen by MS-DOS and the Windows 98 Setup install process was my E2B Flash drive. There were a few problems however.įirst, there were just too many files inside the ISO for the grub4dos environment to enumerate! To fix this I simply deleted the unneeded folders from the Win98 ISO and just left the \Win98 folder inside the ISO file plus the folder (required for floppy-emulation booting) and the files that were in the root of the ISO (like Setup.exe). This method almost worked with a Windows 98SE Install ISO that I had.
