DOS COMMANDS

[IANUK]

I am trying too copy the windows 98 files too my hard drive for easier installing if needed , thought I had the right commands , got as far as make directory , but got stuck on change dir & copy files too hd , any help appreciated .

Considering the following.
Your hard drive is C:
Your Cd-rom is D:
Adjust the following and or above to match your hardware setup

Boot to the dos prompt c:\ enter the following
md win98
cd\win98
copy d:\win98\*.* c: /v

The first will Make the win98 folder on c:
Then change to that folder
then Copy all the files in the cd-rom drive D:\win98 folder to the hard drive and the /V will verify the data matches the original when it is written .

You can then run Setup to install win9x from that folder or Tell windows to use that new folder and it’s content to change or update windows installed drivers and software
