Hello from the deep and cold south, and thanks for reading this.
I have a recovery CD for my IBM iSeries 1400 which installs Windows 98SE,
using, of all things, the 16 bit Windows 95A to partition and format the hard
drive, a 2.01 GB drive! What is the logic behind this??? 16 bit Win 95A to
install 32 bit Win 98SE???
So... at present, I'm stuck with a wasteful 16 bit file system on drive C:
that won't convert to FAT32 because of a cluster defect on the hard drive!
And, to top it off, Drive D: ends up as a virtually usless 20 MB drive! 20 MB
used to be great in the 'heady' XT days, remember them?
In the root folder of the recovery CD, using Enzip, I have established that
files Hwukma0.imz to Hwukma7.imz contain the zipped contents of the hard
drive. Now, is it possible to install these files to a working system on the
drive that has been prepared by a Windows 98SE start-up disk?
