Windows 98 Misc

Before Installation Have a Floppy Disk

SUMMARY: Have a free floppy disk handy to store information for emergency startup information.

Before you decide to upgrade Windows 95 to Win98, make sure you have a free floppy disk handy. Win98 will automatically prompt you to create a startup disk during the installation process.

Do you have disks but don't know if they are free? Even if you forget to check your disks during the install, you can still check to see if they are free while installing Win98. Press CONTROL-ESCAPE during the install and the familiar START button will appear. You can now access the Explorer and check through floppies to see which can be used for a startup disk.
