Installing Windows98 on a Liberty3

Last edited: December 15, 2003 08:20 AM

This document details how Touch Menus installs and configures Windows98.  It is written specifically for installation on the Liberty3, but most steps would be the same for other systems.  Note that some programs, such as FasTouch may require additional configuration not covered in this document.
Pre-Installation Steps

In-house Note:  Steps marked with an asterisk (*) can be done using the appropriate Superdisk2000.

  1. Configure the CMOS as necessary.  For the Liberty3, press DEL on boot to enter CMOS setup.  On the first screen set the date and time.  In Advanced CMOS set Wait F1 if error to Disabled.  In Power Management set Power Management/APM to Disabled.  In Peripheral Setup, set Onboard Sound Chip to Disabled.
  2. * If the disk has not yet been partitioned, run FDISK.  It is recommended that FAT16 be used initially to allow non-Windows utilities such as the Superdisk2000 to be used for initially copying and installation of files.
  3. * If the disk has not yet been formatted, run FORMAT /S.
  4. * Copy in all directories and files needed for DOS programs running on this station or any station that will network to it.

Installation

  1. Copy the Win98 folder from M: to C:.  If not in-house, create a Win98 folder and copy all the necessary files from wherever you keep Windows98.
  2. Run Setup from the Win98 folder to install Windows.  For the In-house copy, use Product Key F4T4B-FGFFP-B9Q82-VXXP7-GRV98.  Select all default options and give it the name MAINSETUP.
