Rejoicing1, if you read back you will see the poster
(cassia Patricio) asked a question completely out of context, this is called hijacking a thread.
I only advised them to start their own thread so that better results are achieved for all.  :)

Well here I am, the long lost rejoicing1 !!! I finally bought a Windows98 CD. YEAH!!!!!! sealed and new. It isn't the Second Edition, but hubby said we have the upgrade and can use that once we install 98. He is gone to Oregon for  a funeral of a friend and as soon as he comes back we will be bombarding this forum for HELP!!.......Computer play will be shelved until next week. Hope you are all fine. Sister on the improve each day. Thanks for your prayers.

Well I actually paid $36. for it on Ebay.......are you going to pop my balloon and tell me it wasn't a good buy? Wahhhhhhhhh......here is the link. I guess I will have to upgrade after I install it? I do have the Windows 98 upgrade.

Rejoicing One:

Good to hear from you!  $36.00 for a never used Windows 98 is a steal in my book.  :)

Glad to hear your sister is doing a little better.  I'll keep asking God to get her through whatever comes her way.  She is blessed to have a sister who cares for her as you do.

If you think of it, pray for my wife.  She has been freakin' out since we got the bad news that my employer is eliminating my job (and those of 100 others in my job classification).  I'm hopeful i'll be able to start a career in information technology (i.e. working with computers and computer networks).

May God bless your socks off!

It's a good thing that you have the Windows 98 SE upgrade CD. You are lucky that you don't have to keep using the first edition. That's what I'm using, and it sucks! Of course, it's still better than Windows 95...  :)

Good morning all. I am ready now to try and play around with my old computer. I bought a fdisk to reformat and the 98 windows operating system. Here is what I am getting when I put in the Fdisk........I get passed the part where it says I want to use the " Large Disk support"...........and to " Create Primary DOS partition".................it then says, " Create Primary DOS partition"................Current Fixed Disk Drive......................Part:C:1, Status: A, Type: Pri DOS, mbytes:9782,Syst: FAT32, Use:100%........and then it says " Primary Partition already exists....................now what??????????? This may not make sense to anyone.....but going to chance sending it on......I guess what I am saying is apparently I need to format this computer before I install the Windows98 CD.............right?
Confused this morning but wanting to learn.........

Rejoicing One:

Sorry i didn't respond; i've been preoccupied with my job search.  Funny how a semi-crisis will change one's own perspective.  

Glad to hear you figured it out!

Still praying for you and your sister.

God bless,
