Rubber Chicken Software has created a special Win98 BootDisk. This enables WinNT, 2000, and XP machines to boot up in Win98. Plus it includes special startup routines to make a "RAMDisk" and load and run the EPSDisk program from, so you can operate on your floppy disks easier.

Instructions for use

• Download Win98 BootDisk
• Unzip the single .exe file contained, and run it
• Put a DS/HD floppy in your floppy drive, click the button on the dialog.
• Read the readme.txt file on the newly written floppy.
• Reboot your machine with the newly written floppy disk still in the drive.
• This will boot up your machine in Win98, and create a RAMDisk (a Virtual Drive in memory). This is done because many WinXP drives are formatted in a way (NTFS) that Win98 cannot read or write to them, and since we are writing floppies, we have to run EPSDisk from another area besides the floppy.
• The readme for EPSDiswk, epsdisk.txt, will automatically start. Read this!
• Close readme.txt, then type epsdisk and hit ENTER to start the EPSDisk program.
