1. Make an E2B bootable USB drive from www.easy2boot.com

2. Check that you can boot the E2B USB drive on your target system – if not then you cannot proceed any further!

3. (optional) Edit the Windows 98 SE ISO file that you have obtained and leave only the files in the root (top level) and the \win98 folder.

Save the ISO file. I used Daemon Tools Pro for this. UltraISO also works.

The reason that we need to delete the other folders is that the E2B copy process will fail if there are too many files.

Also, we don’t need these folders to install Windows 98.

If you like, you can try the ISO without editing it first, but it may fail to load or install properly.

4. If the ISO is not bootable (check with 7Zip – Open Archive, look for a [BOOT] folder containing a Bootable_1.44M.img file) then you will need to find and download an MS-DOS floppy disk image.

If the ISO does contain a bootable 1.44Mb floppy image as [BOOT], you only need the ISO file and you do not need a separate .IMG file.

4a. If your Win98SE ISO is bootable:

Simply copy the reduced-size ISO (approx 180MB) to the E2B USB drive \_ISO\MAINMENU folder and rename the file to have the .ISODOS01 file extension

(optional) Create a .txt file of the same name as the Win98SE ISO containing the menu entry that you want to appear in the E2B Main menu instead of just the name of the ISODOS01 file – e.g.:

title Win98SE Install (ISO)\n Choose 2 Boot from CD-ROM then 3 without CD-ROM option 2\n Run FDISK to partition the HDD\n Then reboot and run Format.\n Change to drive B: and type Setup to install Win98

This completes the USB drive preparation if your Win98SE ISO was bootable.
