The only flaw was my strategy to use the full version of XP prof for verification that I had a full version of windows which did not work at all. I suppose there is no <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/way-246442" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WAY">WAY</a> to get around buying a full version of 98?If you're going to pay money for it you should get Windows 2000, it's better than 98 & XP and it doesn't have any Msoft validation hoops to jump through.<br/>You probably know someone who has an unused copy for free, ask around.Ya I was kind of shocked when I shopped around online and saw 98 going for $60 $60 is crazy IMO 98 has no worth at all now.<br/><br/>Before you install the Windows 2000 Professional desktop operating system, make sure that your computer meets the following minimum system requirements: <br/>133 MHz or more Pentium microprocessor (or equivalent). Windows 2000 Professional supports up to two <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/processors-606629" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROCESSORS">PROCESSORS</a> on a single computer.<br/>64 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum. 32 MB of RAM is the minimum supported. 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM is the maximum. <br/>A 2 GB hard disk that has 650 MB of free space. If you are installing over a network, more free hard disk space is required. <br/>VGA or higher-resolution monitor.<br/>Keyboard.<br/>Mouse or compatible pointing device (optional)<br/><br/>Straight from the Mothership.

Windows 2000 costs about $<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/1000-238376" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 1000">1000</a> new which is a bit less then XP.

Quote<blockquote>Excuse me ? ? ?<br/>Win2K = $1000 dollars ? ? ? ?</blockquote> I told you it was good. Quote from: patio on September 24, 2009, 11:55:41 PM<blockquote>Excuse me ? ? ?<br/>Win2K = $1000 dollars ? ? ? ?<br/></blockquote> Typo, I meant $100 dollars. And XP normally sells for $20 more than 2K.</body></html>

3.	Solve : backing up and imaging older machines and Operating systems?
Answer» <html><body><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/greetings-1012977" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GREETINGS">GREETINGS</a>! <br/><br/>I have a few older machines, including my parents first computer. It kept us going from 92 all the way until <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/2004-289971" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 2004">2004</a>. Granted everything inside was upgraded. This machine features a 133Mhz Pentium 1, a 10Gb hard drive (Windows 95 sees only 7.5 i think it has a recovery partition my dad gave me a floppy that booted something that looks like an early norton ghost) 32mb of ram CD ROm and floppy. <br/><br/>The biggest thing it has is my childhood. And thats my biggest issue. I want to possibly preserve it just in case that hard drive does die. When the machine was a 386 (i was born in 95 so im too young to remember it) the drive did die. <br/><br/>Anyways what im getting at is there a peace of software that i can use even with a modern OS from my main machine that would make an image of the HDD from this Pentium 1 machine or even the Compaq in my other thread that im trying to play with. So that if the drive where to die. I have that image somewhere else. <br/><br/>All and any help will be greatly appreciated. i should have done this a while ago. Depending on the drive brand, you could use a free utility and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/clone-420995" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CLONE">CLONE</a> it to a newer IDE Hard drive. Such as seagate hard drive you can use the seagate tool and its free. i have even heard on systems with more than 2 hard drives as long as it detects a valid Seagate hard drive mounted that you can actually clone say a Maxtor drive to a Western Digital with a Seagate 3rd drive attached etc.<br/><br/>Norton Ghost is what I use for imaging older systems. But you would want to have a IDE DVD-RW drive to burn 7.5GB to up to 2 DVD-R's. Depending on how much free space you have you might be able to squeeze it onto a single DVD-R. With CD-R's with a CD-RW drive your looking at up to 11 CD-R discs if there is just about no free space at 700MB per newest capacity CD-R.<br/><br/>Ghost is the safer way to go it will perform a check after the process and tell you if its a pass or fail on the imaging to disc.<br/><br/>Cloning a hard drive if you select the wrong order you can erase the entire hard drive by accident by copying over the blank drive over the master drive with the data on it.<br/><br/>What make/model hard drive is that 10GB? And do you have a Seagate hard drive that is 10GB or larger that is healthy and IDE type to clone to if you wanted to?<br/><br/><br/>I totally understand the urgency to back up or clone that drives contents as for I have had 2 hard drives die when in storage. One was a 10MB hard drive that went to my old 8088XT and the other was a 4.3GB Quantum BigFoot 5.25" monster large hard drive that went to a Acer 200Mhz Pentium 1 with important data on them. Fortunately I backed up all data from the 10MB and 4.3GB hard drives to CD-R and DVD-R as for the last time I went to spin up the drives to use them in older of the era hardware the 10MB wouldnt spin up. The drive motor no longer spun. The 4.3GB I spun up and it ran for about 2 hours and then overheated and dismounted. If I chill the 4.3GB I can get it to run until the drive heats up and then it goes out to lunch. So these drives the 4.3GB a 20 year old hard drive and the 10MB a 30+ year old had drive became paperweights. The weird thing with the 10MB hard drive is that the center shaft to the drive has a black plastic nub that sticks out of the drive that you could see spinning back when the drive worked. But when the drive didnt spin up and tried it on a couple systems and then spun the black nub with my fingers to see if I could unseize the drive it didnt help and so its junk. Something on the main boards failed on the drives I believe and they were kept in a dry closet in the dark for years although not in ESD bags.Pardon me.<br/>Old computers do not doLBA on hard drives.<br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing</a><br/>You may have an issue trying to clone an old hard drive. Or maybe not.<br/><br/>My advice; get a cloud service and see if the old PC can gt into the internet. If so, upload the photos and documents of a personal nature.<br/>You do not neccessarily need a full clone so ignore the above details...<br/>The data ...pics music etc don't need that OS to work properly....as it's an older PC i would prioritise whats 1st and go from there just in case the HDDD doesn't survive a full clone.

In some cases a 'clone' job can be destructive.<br/> Quote<blockquote>You may have an issue trying to clone an old hard drive. Or maybe not.</blockquote> <br/>True... the 10GB drive would have been very expensive if its an early 10GB pre-LBA. Im thinking their drive might have a date code on it of 1997-1998 when 10GB was starting to become the norm for storage capacity in new computers of the time. The Pentium 133 may have started off with a smaller 2.5GB hard drive and then that drive replaced to a 10GB are my thoughts unless a premium was paid for 10GB. Knowing the drive make/model and date code would help know if the drive supports LBA. Then there is the issue whether the motherboards BIOS supports LBA and if LBA was used or a legacy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/mode-239384" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MODE">MODE</a>. LBA shows use in ATA-1 in 1994 so it could have LBA with a Pentium 133. Since the Pentium 133-166-200Mhz systems were on the market in 1994-1997.<br/><br/>I have used Norton Ghost 2003 with systems as old as Pentium 75Mhz running Windows 98 with 32MB RAM 1.2GB HDD, and a CD-RW drive to burn the image to CD-R. <a href="https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH107705.html">https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH107705.html</a><br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>My advice; get a cloud service and see if the old PC can gt into the internet.

Better idea would be if just backing up files without the OS, would be to create a network share on the Windows 95 system and access the share with a newer computer, but networking these old and new computer to 95 could be troublesome. The Pentium 133 probably also doesnt have any USB ports and Windows 95 is horrible for USB device support. For large file transfers in the Windows 95 days I use to use a parallel port cable, double ended male 25-pin D-SUB and laplink like software called FileVan in which the trial allowed you to transfer a limited number of files via LPT1 (printer port) of each computer at like 1200 baud. I zipped all the data to a single zip file with pkzip and then transferred the large file made up of other many files within it from one computer to the other. Then used pkunzip to decompress the data to the other computer. It took a few hours to complete the transfer over 1200 baud but it worked for 2 computers that were not Network ready and only had modems with dial-up to internet. Laplink allowed transfer over Serial which would have been faster, but laplink wasnt available to me at the time and this trial download worked for 1 time need of data transfer.

Have you guys ever used Acronis? I was suggested it but its not free. Apparently it does a good job. But before i shell out i want to know. Use an adapter/enclosure for the drive and image it directly using modern software as a USB drive on another system. Anything else is just a waste of time, IMO; either the software won't support it (even Clonezilla's i386 builds require pae) or the software will make it a pain (having to burn discs via ghost).<br/><br/>Just take the drive out and use an Adapter or enclosure to connect it to a more modern system via USB. Then image it there.

I just don't know what software to use. I just want to ensure I'm making a clear image that i can later clone back and put back into the machine and it will boot win 9X in this case 95. Any Drive imaging software would work. The concerns noted regarding LBA are redundant as the drive must support some form of LBA to be 10GB to begin with; Most drives supported LBA as it was defined in the ATA-1 standard as well as being present in the original IDE spec as an option- BIOS support was the variable, which won't matter for a USB adapter or enclosure. (I don't know whether CHS access would prevent creating an image anyway!).<br/><br/>You might be able to "verify" the image by attempting to boot it via a VM. it probably won't work flawlessly but if it even tries to boot Windows 95 then it's probably a good image to use.I use and recommend Acronis...however as you stated it ain't Free...<br/><br/>My current Free recommendations are Macrium Reflect...or Easus ToDo...<br/> Quote from: patio on September 01, 2016, 05:46:52 PM<blockquote>I use and recommend Acronis...however as you stated it ain't Free...<br/><br/>My current Free recommendations are Macrium Reflect...or Easus ToDo...<br/></blockquote> <br/>If its worth the price tag, i don't mind investing in Acornis.

I wish they didReferring to the article:<br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing</a><br/> Quote<blockquote>The LBA scheme replaces earlier schemes which exposed the physical details of the storage device to the software of the operating system. Chief among these was the cylinder-head-sector (CHS) scheme, where blocks were addressed by means of a tuple which defined the cylinder, head, and sector at which they appeared on the hard disk. </blockquote> What is not clearly stated is that the CHS scheme can bit hard. It might not be an issue or it can. <em>This is not ambiguity on my part.</em> The scheme lends to mistakes. Put another way, you need to format the drive with the machine that is going to use it. That will insure there is no alternative interpretation in the plan.<br/><br/>I am just trying to help. No he doesn't...<br/>The current os will read the older files just fine.

I don't think LBA could be an issue here; LBA support is part of the original IDE specification (and later, ATA-1).<br/><br/>One would have to go back to ESDI or ST-506 interfaces to find drives which did not provide LBA support. I do not think a 10GB drive that has Windows 95 on it is likely to be either an ESDI or an ST-506 'winchester' drive.<br/><br/>I think the formatting issue you mentioned is unrelated to CHS addressing, but the result of older Hard Drives (we're talking the original drives for the 5150 and 5160) using Stepper Motors to control the read/write head, which meant that the stepper motor degrading or even the drive being at a different temperature could cause disk read failures.<br/><br/>Alternatively, I suppose later drives could become unreadable if the incorrect parameters were put into a BIOS that required Hard drive parameters to be entered manually- they could also seemingly work if the drive was formatted with those incorrect parameters (but it would degrade over time) However, that was a BIOS limitation- not a drive one. I had a 42 MB Western Digital IDE drive from 1987 which was auto-detected without issue on more modern systems, despite the system it was original in requiring me to enter the drive parameters into the CMOS setup manually.</body></html>

Windows 95 can run almost any DOS program fairly well. Windows 95 can also boot in DOS Mode (98 can too) specially for running DOS programs.

16.	Solve : DOS based windows?
Answer» <html><body><p>I just found out that Windows 98 has to be installed in DOS but Windows 98 SE can be installed without booting from DOS. Am I right to assume that that would make Windows 98 the last DOS based Windows?No. Windows 98SE was DOS based.So was MERight. XP was the first MS OS not built on a DOS kernel. Quote from: Allan on September 22, 2009, 12:59:00 PM</p><blockquote>Right. XP was the first MS OS not built on a DOS kernel.<br/></blockquote> <br/>No; that was NT 3.1I don't think that's what Amats meant. Technical xp, vista, and win7 are all based on dos. I think he meant something like weather or not 98 was the last windows that relied on dos for so much that it had to be installed with it.

I can play cd ok but cannot do internet radio audio streaming. the player says that it is steaming the leds on the dsl modem indicate that I am recieving streming but I hear no sound. I have reloaded media player and also internet explorer. the pc is compaq armada 700 laptop. Also if I connect to a web page that has a audio file on it it plays just fine so I am assumming it has something to do with just streamngfireman:<br/><br/>Try removing the Mute settings:<br/><br/>1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.<br/>2. Double-click the Multimedia applet.<br/>3. In Multimedia <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/properties-11511" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROPERTIES">PROPERTIES</a>, click the Audio tab and make sure "<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/show-236642" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SHOW">SHOW</a> volume control on the taskbar" is checked, then click OK.<br/>4.

In the Properties dialog box under "Show the following volume controls" check all that are listed.<br/>7. Click OK and OK.<br/>8. Back in Volume Control, remove the checkmark from all Mute checkboxes, and adjust the volume slider for each to at least the middle setting.<br/>9. Close Volume Control.<br/>10. Close Control Panel.<br/>11. Restart your computer and test the volume, now. <br/><br/>Regards,<br/>Doc<br/> thanks doc but I had already checked that but thanks anywayFireman:<br/><br/>Were you ever able to listen to streaming audio on this computer? If so, what changed prior to the sounds of silence? (Did you upgrade to version 7.1 from version 6.0 of Media Player? Did you install RealOne Player, Winamp or QuickTime? Did you add a new sound card or use Windows Update to upgrade DirectX?)<br/><br/>Let us know.<br/>DocI use to be able to stream until I upgraded interntet exporer to 6.0 after I discovered that I could not stream I then upgraded to media player 7.1 with no results. I then downloaded real player and I can stream with that.Fireman:<br/><br/>Do you have Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)? To check your version of Windows 98, go to your Desktop and right-click on the "My Computer" icon. Look at the General tab where it says "System: Windows 98." If the next line is a version number (such as 4.10.1998), you are running Windows 98. If the next line says "Second Edition," you are running Windows 98 SE.<br/><br/>DocI am running windows 98, I also reloaded windows to see if that would help but it did not.try updating audio codecs.........or try windows media player <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/nine-570930" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NINE">NINE</a>?I updated the audio codec and still does not work according to what I see on microsofts web media 9 will not work on windows 98Fireman:<br/><br/>U R correct; Windows Media Player 7.1 is as high as one may go with Windows 95 or the first edition of Windows 98. It may be that some streaming audio requires a later Media Player version than 7.1. Try contacting the Web site administrator of a site with which you are having trouble listening to their streaming audio broadcast. Ask her what is the earliest version of Media Player that the site supports.<br/><br/>To troubleshoot further, try running the DXdiag tool to see if your DirectX is the problem:<br/><br/>1. Click Start > Run and type<strong> dxdiag </strong> in the Run box and press ENTER.<br/><br/>2. In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool under "System Information" note the version of DirectX installed and let us know. For example, Windows 98 SE on one of my systems has "DirectX 6.1a (4.06.03.0518)" listed. <br/><br/>3. In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, click the tabs, one at a time (beginning with the DirectX Files tab), and take note of any problems found that are listed under Notes.<br/><br/>4. At the Music tab, click the "Test DirectMusic" button and follow the instructions.<br/><br/>5. If that doesn't help, then click The Troubleshoot button at the More Help tab. Follow the instructions of the Windows 98 Troubleshooters wizard.<br/><br/>If the Web site supports Media Player 7.1 and the DirectX Diagnostic Tool does not find the cause of the problem, let us know. Perhaps adjusting the settings of your firewall (if any) or running the Windows 98 System File Checker utility may help. One of us will suggest what to try next. <br/><br/>dump ie 6........

41.	Solve : Big Problems!! Win 98?
Answer» <html><body><p>Ok, here is my dilemma--my Gateway computer crashed a while back, took it to the shop....He installed ZoneAlarm on an already very slow system. I hated it.....Anyway last night I decided to get rid of it and disabled it. When I did that I also was clearing some shortcuts from my desktop (lots of different spyware <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/programs-239435" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROGRAMS">PROGRAMS</a>). Anyway, I shut down the computers and started it back up, now Window 98 is gone. I have my disk and access to product key if I can get to screen with start button. As of now it goes directly into Win setup mode. How do I get to my start button....help!!!!Can you get into Safe Mode? It's starting to sound like you have to do a Windows re-install.I am not sure about safe mode and I am not home infrom of my computer. Seems like the first thing I see on my screen is some basic computer info in upper left hand corner, then it asks if I wants to reboot using cd-rom or hard drive(I think), I put my disk in and set up begins, I get to the part of product key and I dont have it. I have found a way to get it but I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/need-25476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEED">NEED</a> to be able to get to the start, run redegit....( i'm sure you know what I am talking about there). Man, I am at a loss of what to do.....thank you for any help you can give me....Oh! Sweet panic! <br/>If you didn't mess with any of the windows files, it should continue to boot normally after you get the "Boot from CD", Boot from Hard Disk" message. Normally, when this is displayed, there will be about a 10 second delay and the boot <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/process-11618" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROCESS">PROCESS</a> will continue if you do nothing. Or you can use the up/down arrows to highlight the hard disk and press enter. The message is displayed because CD-ROM is selected as the first boot device in the BIOS setup.I dont think I touched any Win files. My only problem is being about to get to where my product key is in the system. Without it I cant do anything, just setup to that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/point-239421" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about POINT">POINT</a>....man, my husband is going to be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/mad-546594" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MAD">MAD</a>!

You will be asked to confirm this password.<br/>2) Then highlight the 'BIOS Features Setup' option, press enter and scroll down to the 'Security' setting. Change this from 'setup' to 'system'.<br/>3) Exit BIOS (F10) and save the changes as you exit.<br/>When you restart your computer, you will be prompted for your password before you even get to the 'Starting Windows....' message.

The only way to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/defeat-946743" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DEFEAT">DEFEAT</a> it involves opening up the case.<br/></p></body></html>
