Installing the Operating System Windows 98
You should only follow these steps when you wish to upgrade from Windows 2000
to Windows 98 or install Windows 98.
The operating system can be reinstalled or restored using the ”Recovery Microsoft
Windows 98” CD-ROM.
This CD contains encoded data which can only be transferred onto a SIEMENS
SIMATIC programming device.
Data transfer is carried out with the OEMSETUP.EXE program on the CD-ROM or,
after booting, from the CD-ROM with the Recovery function.
The ADD-ONS, BOOTDISK, CD SAMPLE, DRIVERS, TOOLS and TOUR folders
on the ”Recovery Microsoft Windows 98” CD-ROM are not encoded. Thus, these
programs can always be executed directly from the CD.
After transferring the required data to the hard disk, the operating system can be
installed using the Windows 98 setup program. After transferring the WIN98 folder,
Windows 98 setup can be started by entering:
HD:\>WIN98\SETUP.EXE
(HD: drive on which the WIN98 folder was transferred to).
