I know, weird question but does anyone remember if win98 SE is a separate operating system from win98 or can you just download an update. I am fixing a computer and the only operating system that I have access to is win98. However, the DVD burning software that I am installing won't install on win98 although they claim to install on win98 SE. TIA.

You need either the Second Edition updates disc, or a whole new OS CD. The updates are not available as a seperate download from Microsoft.
Thanks. I guess I'll have to go looking for the update disk or another operating system (guess I should get a better OS anyways). Thanks again.

If you find it, mf, let us know.
I just assembled a computer using a hard drive from another computer. I don't have the chipset driver disk for the motherboard, but found it from driverdisks.com which I ordered. However, the chipset drivers require 98SE instead of 98 which is on the hard drive.

Johnny, you don't have Win98SE on a disk somewhere? Why not wipe and reinstall that bad baby?

Yes, I do have it. I have the full version and an upgrade from Windows 95 or earlier. However, I have a ton of programs, too which I don't want to reinstall. Won't I lose all of them if I delete Windows 98?Originally Posted by eSDeeLoco

Yep you will have to reinstall the programs if you wiped it. If you are just interested in putting together another computer, you could get a cheap HD and slap that in there. It's usually not good to move a system drive from computer to computer like that but you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck.
