[QUOTE="Deleted deleted, post: 538372, member: 54774"] If that machine will run XP, I'd sure install that first. Win9x is not very good at detecting hardware, and you may end up spending countless hours trying to find drivers for each piece of hardware. My old IBM Thinkpad is too slow to run XP, so I had to re-install Win98SE. I couldn't find my IBM disks, so I tried a generic Win98 CD I had. It installed, but left me with most of my hardware devices not detected - important ones like my ethernet card. I spent half a day searching the internet trying to find device drivers that were Win98 compliant. [/QUOTE]
