jaclaz Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It didn't work (the system.cb) . I think my problem is i am at the part when the system install the drivers in the background that says something like "98 setup" on the topThe cause for the issue is to be detemined, but the actual effects can maybe be mitigated.Right now the issues (effects) are that:you cannot boot win "normal" mode (because the system crashes)you can boot to safe mode BUT the shell doesn't load (fully), i.e. you get the desktop and Explorer is running BUT you have no Start button/trayYour next attempt could be that of attempting to load an alternate shell (winfile) to see if you can boot in safe mode (and from it do what rloew suggested).Try following this:http://www.mombu.com/microsoft/windows-98-general/t-windows-starts-but-no-start-button-desktop-image-only-229791.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I think the "Shell=Winfile.exe" line must go into system.cb, too, to influence safe mode... BTW, "CB" means "clean boot", FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwups Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I few month ago I successfully installed 98SE on a 2GB SD Card in a card reader according to these instructions . If I remember correctly the SD Card worked in DOS comp. mode, anyway windows was very slow. Then I tried to install 98SE on a 8GB Stick. The setup slowed down and seemed to hang. Maybe after two or three hours I cancelled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
