hardware. This is a slow, tedious process. You will have the benefits,
however, of having a clean registry and a slimmer installation running only the

detects changes in hardware, it will make changes in the installation. It will

>Since this second method involves installing from the Windows 98
CD-ROM, you will speed things up considerably if you put an image of this
disc on you hard drive. These days, some computers are shipped with "Recovery
Disks" that have the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) label on the MS
Windows 98 disk. In these cases, it is not always easy to tell which CD-ROM
contains the operating system. These types of disks may or may not work for
this purpose; more than likely it will be problematic. Make sure you have a
disk that is labeled "Windows 98" with the Microsoft logo. You will find the
product key on the "Certificate of Authenticity" provided to you by Microsoft.
This can be either on the aqua/purle/white book titled <SPAN
