At the DOS prompt, cut into the drive where the CD is located, then enter the Windows 98 installation directory, run the Setup command, and the installation curtain will be opened.

When the installation is started, the program automatically calls Scandisk to detect the computer, and after passing, it officially enters the installation process. When the \”Software License Agreement\” dialog box flashes, check \”Accept Agreement\” and click \”Next\”. At this time, you need to enter the product key (i.e., the installation serial number), and then \”Next\” all the way.

If you want to speed up, you can add parameters when entering Setup on the command line, such as: setup /id/ie/ih/im/ is/iv , this command can skip disk space checking, no startup disk creation and other links, and go straight to the file copying stage, saving time greatly.

Either way, the process is similar to Windows 98 installation.

At this time, enter the command setup/nm to break through the obstacle and enable the installation. The installation program also has parameters similar to Windows 98. select.

Follow the wizard prompts to complete the installation smoothly.

Windows XP has a variety of installation methods, covering upgrades, dual-system coexistence and brand new installation, similar to Windows 2000. If you install these two systems under DOS, be sure to run Smartdrv.exe first, and then execute Winnt.exe in the i386 directory of the installation CD instead of Setup.exe.

4. Install multiple operating systems

Want to let multiple systems coexist? To live with Windows 98 and Windows 2000, first install Windows 98, then run the Windows 2000 installer on its system. After booting, you will see a multi-boot menu and select it as needed.
