That is annoying -- you don't get the full version OS. I actually had to pull out my old Win3.1 diskettes in order to re-install Win 98 (had to have a full install version OS in order to "upgrade"). Actually, it didn't upgrade from 3.1 just wanted to check for a valid OS.

Don't throw away your old diskettes.

Don't throw away your old diskettes.

Good advice- sometimes in my fooling around with old iron, I've had to "bring the machine up" by starting with DOS or Win 3.1-- an IBM release I "liberated" from a trash pile behind the wife's office. Keep those programs, 'cause you'll have the Devils' time trying to locate them now.
