XP then installed itself with no hitches and booted fine.

XP's install is nice and easy – I used the rest of the disk for an XP partition which was formatted with NTFS (of course). Good so far, no hiccups and all was on track so it was time to install Windows XP Pro, fr this I simply used HP's O/S disk (thank you HP for giving me simple an O/S disk and none of this 'magic restore' crap, I'm sure it is nice for home users but not business!). Now for the last step (or so I thought….)

I ran setup with the portable option, typical components – nothing interesting.Īfter this was done I removed the boot CD and rebooted – I wasn't given a boot menu (I didn't expect one as Windows 98 doesn't provide that feature) and was booted straight into 98. I rebooted for the changes to take effect and then formatted (again, using the Windows 98 format!) then rebooted once more and from the boot menu this time chose option 1 to setup Windows 98. I enabled large drive support and proceeded to make an extended partition (fdisk doesn't let you make more than one primary partition, annoyingly enough…) which filled the remainder of the disk, and then defined inside it a logical partition of 8gb. When I was at the command prompt I made sure to change to my CD drive (which was d:) and then typed fdisk (which was why I made sure I was on the CD drive letter – I didn't want to start DOS fdisk as this doesn't understand large disks). Next was the task of installing Windows 98 SE, for this I simply used the Windows 98 CD which is (thankfully) bootable, so I booted from the CD and choose option 2 on the boot menu to boot with CD-ROM support (but not setup Windows 98).
I then took my DOS boot CD out and rebooted onto the HDD and there DOS 6.22 was, in all its former glory!
After formatting I typed "sys a: c:" to transfer the system files to the newly made c: drive (I'm sure you can use a switch via format for this but I didn't). Now that I had my DOS 6.22 boot CD I put it into the NC 6120 and booted from it, sure enough I arrived at a DOS prompt where I promptly used fdisk to create myself a 50mb partition which I made active, rebooted and then formatted with FAT16 (by using format that came with DOS).

After talking about this to the person who needed the laptops we decided that we should install a combo of DOS 6.22, Windows 98 SE and Windows XP on the laptops, this would mean the laptops would have the benefit of true 6.22 DOS while also having the compatibility with the hardware of Windows XP when needed (for networking or some such), so this entry is all about the struggles I encountered when trying to do this.įirst of all I needed to get DOS, for this I downloaded a DOS 6.22 boot disk from (a wonderful place for any bootdisk should you need one) which I then had to convert into a boot CD as the laptop had no floppy drive, to do this I first created the floppy on my desktop machine (which has a floppy drive) and then used UltraISO to create an image of the floppy I made, I then loaded the boot info from the floppy image to the current ISO and dragged all the files into the ISO to make myself a dos boot CD ISO, which I then burnt to CD using DeepBurner (I could have used UltraISO but I haven't used it for ISO burning before and I couldn't be bothered with errors).

After 98 SE was installed on the laptop it became evident that this wasn't the best solution in any respect as Intel haven't made 9x chipset drivers for newer chipsets (the chipset in question was the Intel 910/915) and as such hardly anything worked! The CD-ROM wasn't functional (although strangely enough the USB ports were…). Recently I was asked at work to install Windows 98 SE on 2 HP Compaq NC6120 laptops (god what a waste of computing power!), the reason was that the employee in question needed to use true DOS as opposed to Windows XP emulated DOS (as it seemed to cut the keyboard input to the DOS program off after a while of the computer being left alone).
