Even back in 1998. Surprisingly, there weren't too many driver issues.

... Why would anyone install 98 on a computer made in 2005/2006?
They're totally cramping my style.

A friend and I were working on the tower for another friend, replacing the hard drive and reinstalling the OS. We decided to have a bit of fun with it first.

We actually have a 500 mb hard drive with MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 that we occasionally use to test computers. Both have booted up without a problem in all of the computers we've tried it in, including a few Windows 7 machines.

We have an old eMachines that is also covered in factory stickers and makes bold claims, similar to the one pictured.

THe problem with that though is with many new computers, like mine for example, don't even have IDE no more.

I still have install discs for Win95, Win98 and AOL and a bunch more I can't think of just now. Cutting edge then. It took a whopping twenty two, 5.5? inch floppy discs to back the whole thing up.

We've been getting lucky that most of the computers we've been getting lately are still using IDE for the optical drive. All we really need to do is plug the HDD into IDE, switch the channel in BIOS, ditch the optical drive, and we're all set.
