Bootable Win98SE Upgrade CD?

[bevills1]

Why doesn't Microsoft make the Win98SE Upgrade CD bootable, and why isn't there a program to do this similar to nLite for slipstreaming and making bootable Win2k, WinXP and Vista CDs? I plan to replace my floppy drive soon with an internal card reader, and I found a solution to make bootable Win98SE CD and incorporate the Win98SE Startup disk into the boot CD. Using Nero "Make Boot CD" I first selected files to add from the Win98SE Startup floppy, then selected to add files on Win98SE Upgrade CD and finally selected "Read files on drive A:" option for boot files source to burn CD. The resulting CD does the normal auto run to do Win98SE install when inserted into CDROM, and it boots to the CD same as Win98SE Startup floppy only much faster than from floppy. However, it does boot as drive A:, and it's necessary to type "X:" and press "Enter" in order to access "Setup" or other files on the CD where "X:" is drive letter of drive containing CD. Another advantage besides bootable and faster than floppy is FDisk or other programs which may not be on Win98SE floppy may be added to the compilation before burning. In addition CDs have much longer shelf life than do floppies as many already know. Just thought I'd share this idea if there are others with similar goals as mine.

I have to look in a few drawers... Guess I still have a few WIN98 SE bootable CDs there. Since about 1999...
Last time I installed them was back in 2003, on an old Pentium 2 Laptop.
Still running with old Sega and Nintendo Games (EMU - Dos)
But you will find a lot of ISOs in the Net, just use your licence key.

And since you know nLite, you probably know the MSFN forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/Windows-95-98-98SE-ME-f8.html

Rather more on topic there than here.
