This is what i did to try to get Windows Me OEM to start the setup.
1. Created a new Virtual Machine.
2. Chose the Windows ME option that i was going to install WinMeOEM.
3. Used Partition Manager to create the drive and format it into FAT32.
4. Using the extracted "bootmec.IMA" from the bootmec.exe [Windows Me Custom, No Ramdrive]as the base for the boot image and opening it in UltraISO to save it into WinMeOEM.img and then changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT to
| Code Sample | @echo off
MSCDEX.EXE /D:tomato /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\WinMeOEM
setup.exe
|
Windows ME OEM Started the Installation OK! Lets see if it does the corrupt files thing.
The first reboot when installing came up.
Now its setting up hardware.
Restarted the second time. It seemed to start ok but then I get the same message i was getting with the Win98se installtion. "Disk Write Error" and then "Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer. System halted".
For some reason the files greater then 8 characters are being truncated. As you can see in the last picture. I dont think other people have tested there creations all the way thru.
You think it suppose to have Long file name support or something in order for the setup.exe to go ok.
I dont know what else to do.
For Win98Se Installation I also tried
1. Created a new Virtual Machine.
2. Chose the Windows 98 option that i was going to install Win98SE.
3. Used Partition Manager to create the drive and format it into FAT32.
4. Using the extracted "bootmec.IMA" from the bootmec.exe [Windows Me Custom, No Ramdrive]as the base for the boot image and opening it in UltraISO to save it into Win98SE.img and then changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT to
| Code Sample | @echo off
MSCDEX.EXE /D:tomato /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\win98SE
setup.exe |
I ran the Windows98 Installtion from the Easyboot Menu and I get the following message.
So the installation never starts. It sends me back to dos prompt.

I really don’t understand what’s goes wrong here? This has nothing to do with how you start setup. It’s something else. I’ll say it’s out of my “control”.
I refer to this: http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin....;t=1083
Note: blaze85 used the same instruction (and so do I) and no problems occurs what so ever.

Well I do use this without any problems what so ever. I use it sometimes when I’m creating boot-folder to different NT-system. To manage this, I install win98 or WinMe.
As I pointed out. This has nothing to do with tutorial it self. Sorry to say – I can’t put my finger on what kind of mismatch this is.
Where have you found these strange win9x-systems? At least they seem to behave a little bit strange in some manners. And I can’t find out how or why?

I got them from there original CD. I just Created an ISO and then Extrated the Win98 folder to use with Easyboot. I have no trouble when I used the CDs normally when I install window98 SE or Windows ME. I try to test the same install on a MS Virtual Machine and see if I get the same error message.

That message: Setup found a compressed volume….
You can press ESC on keyboard or download ”Windows 98 Custom, No Ramdrive” from http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
Use this instead of WinMe –version of image. In this way you don’t need to press ESC on keyboard. It’s depends on what DOS-version you have in Win98-folder. Why not use the exact compatible images according to your different win9x-system? Download from http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
However I don’t think it solves problems with truncated names. But sure worth a try….

Please test following on Win98SE.
Change Autoexec.bat to this and use image ”Windows 98 Custom, No Ramdrive”:
MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
c:
mkdir option
x:
cd win98SE
xcopy *.* c:\option
c:
cd option
setup.exe
- end of script -
Test as usual. Make a quick format and install Win98SE in this way.
Note: This is only to see if we can stop truncated files.

Sorry wrong path (BANANA is the right one if using ”Windows 98 Custom, No Ramdrive”).
Change Autoexec.bat to this and use image ”Windows 98 Custom, No Ramdrive”:
MSCDEX /D:BANANA /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
c:
mkdir option
x:
cd win98SE
xcopy *.* c:\option
c:
cd option
setup.exe
- end of script -

Darn the same error. " DIsk Write error".
It seems to install fine but when Windows try to run for the first time you get this error.
Ill have to find My Virtual PC CD and install it to run this test on it and see if I will get the same error.
