Trashed Win98 CD
Will Microsoft replace a Windows 98 CD that was broken if I send them the
damaged disk? (Ran over it with my chair !!! ) Bob |

I don't think they even have Win98 CDs any longer. Your best bet may be looking for
a reasonably-priced copy online, such as at eBay. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Bob" wrote in message ... Will Microsoft replace a Windows 98 CD that was broken if I send them the damaged disk? (Ran over it with my chair !!! ) Bob |

If this CD is legally yours. I don't think anything would come of it if you found someone with a Win98SE cd and make a copy of it. You should have done that in the first place. It's called a backup. Or in the real sence the original CD is your backup. I know some liberal will jump all over me for telling you to copy one from someone elses CD.

A liberal probably would not care and while a conservative might, it will
not be this conservative :-) I believe it would be OK to copy a CD if it is the exact type of CD that was broken. If OP had an OEM version and copied a retail version, I think this would be illegal. There could also be problems if the CD being copied is an OEM version that had been tailored for a specific PC and it is not the same PC that OP has. -- 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 "poatt" wrote in message ...

Not sure why you think a "liberal" would jump all over you. By definition, a
liberal thinker would be more open to loose interpretation of a legal agreement, whereas a conservative would support a strict interpretation....just as in the US with regards to the interpretation of the Constitution. If you are going to make a copy to replace the backup you never made of your own original, make sure it is the exact same version on Win98SE....not a modified version produced for an OEM. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "poatt" wrote in message ...
