Have 98 Need 98 SE...What Is Involved To Convert?!?
Windows 98 has worked very well for me since I bought my
computer 5 years ago. It has served me well through grad school. Now I find however that I cannot run my PDA or any external HDs with anything older than 98 SE...I need to upgrade. Can this upgrade be done without erasing my HD or is this a major OS change? I have so much of my grad. school work on this computer that my old Zip drive back-up is simply not practical...thus one of the reasons I wanted to back- up with an external HD. This external HD I thought would also make it a lot easier to download all my important files to a new computer I need to get in the near future (I would still use my current computer for other purposes). I was told by someone at Western Digital that they thought they had gotten Windows 98 SE by simply maintaining their updates (which I too have done but see no indication that my OS has been upgraded during this process). Any and all help is deeply appreciated...thank you! -Jeff |

Please don't make the same post to different newsgroups and cause us extra
work. Your question has nothing to do with display and it was appropriately listed in general discussion where I provided my reply. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Jeff" wrote in message ...
