This special disk helps you fix old computers that run on Windows 95 or Windows 98. Here is how to use it to get your computer running again. What You Need First Before you start, you must gather your tools.
The Disk: You need the Ultimate Boot Disk 9x files on a floppy disk or a CD.
The Computer: You need the broken computer with a working disk drive. Step 1: Put the Disk in the Computer
Turn off your computer completely. Place your Ultimate Boot Disk 9x into the floppy drive or the CD drive. Step 2: Turn on the Computer
Press the power button on your computer. Watch the screen closely right away. You need the computer to read the disk before it tries to open Windows.
If the computer tries to open Windows like normal, you must restart it. You may need to press a key like F12, F2, or Delete when the computer first turns on. This opens a secret menu called the BIOS. In this menu, change the settings so the computer looks at the disk drive first. Step 3: Choose Your Options
Once the disk loads, a blue or black screen will appear with a list of choices. This is the main menu.
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move up and down. For most fixes, choose the option that says Start computer with CD-ROM support. Press the Enter key. Step 4: Use the Tools to Fix the System
The disk will load a bunch of helpful tools. You will see a small blinking line next to some letters, like A:> or R:>. This is called the command prompt. You can type special words here to fix your computer:
Type scandisk and press Enter to find and fix errors on your hard drive.
Type sys c: and press Enter to fix the hidden files that help your computer start up. Step 5: Restart Your Computer
When the tools are done fixing the errors, take the disk out of the drive. Turn your computer off and then turn it back on. Your computer should now load into Windows safely. To help you get started with your repair, let me know: What error message do you see on your screen? Are you using a floppy disk or a CD? What version of Windows is on the old computer?
