Post subject: Install Win98SE on notebook Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win95>setup (more info?)
Hello,
I bought over ebay an older notebook (Toshiba Satellite 4000 CDS) with
Windows 98 SE installed. The system runs but needs to be "cleaned up".
The best way would be to install Win 98 completely new. I have a
CD+Key+Start-Disk but I don't know if I would need special drivers for
the hard-disk, disk-drive, cd-drive or monitor. Or is their a way, that
the already installed drivers can be used again? Toshiba only offers a
download for the BIOS. On the other hand I know that certain drivers are
on the Win 98 CD. Does anybody has experience with such a problem? Or
any recommendation?
Thanks a lot!

You might try posting to a Toshiba or a Windows 98 newsgroup.

Save the contents of the Windows\Inf and Windows\System32\Drivers
folders on a CD-R, USB drive, etc. If Windows 98 can't find a driver
after installation, tell it to look in those folders.
