Windows 98 Disc Compatibility

My mate wants to put a USB PCI card in his mums PC
The PC is running Windoze 98 but the problem is he needs the Win 98 disc
for the drivers and cannot find it :dozey:

My question is... I have a Win 98 disc, will this work as it is not the one that
was used for the install on his mums PC :confused:

very frustrating when helping someone out, for them to turn round and say "I don't have the disk anymore" LOL

Re: Windows 98 Disc Compatibility

for windows 98 always check in C:\windows\options\cabs

quite often that is enough to allow the install to continue :)

Re: Windows 98 Disc Compatibility

If you know the make/model of the card you should be able to download compatible drivers from the internet. Save them to disc (or disk) and then point the installation routine at that.
