What’s New for the Windows 98 Startup Disk.

The Startup Disk has changed significantly for Windows 98. The following

items are new for Windows 98.

- MULTI-CONFIG START MENU

- REAL-MODE CD-ROM DRIVERS

- EBD.CAB FILE

- RAMDRIVE

- WINDOWS 98 STARTUP PROBLEMS

- USING THE TOOLS AVAILABLE ON THE STARTUP DISK

MULTI-CONFIG START MENU

=======================

If you boot your computer using the new Windows 98 Startup Disk, a boot menu

appears allowing you the option to load drivers for the most common CD-Rom

drives or perform a normal clean boot.

After you make your selection, the Config.sys file loads the appropriate

CD-ROM driver (if selected) and then loads a 2MB RAMDrive. The RAMDrive is

used to store all the diagnostic tools necessary to troubleshoot the most

common problems.

NOTE: The RAMdrive may cause your CD-Rom to pushed back 1 drive letter. If your

CD-Rom is usually drive D:, it will now be Drive E:.

REAL-MODE CD-ROM SUPPORT

========================

The Windows 98 Statup Disk includes generic ATAPI IDE & SCSI CD-ROM drivers

that allow your CD-ROM to function at Dos when the Windows 98 GUI is not

available.

NOTE: Not all CD-Rom drives are supported. If your CD-Rom drive does not

function with these drivers, you must use the drivers that came with your

CD-Rom drive.

EBD.CAB FILE

============

The Ebd.cab file is a compressed file whose contents are extracted to the

Ramdrive during the startup process. The table below identifies the files

in the Ebd.cab file.

File Function

Attrib.exe Add or remove file attributes

Chkdsk.exe A simpler and smaller disk status tool

Debug.exe Debugging utility

Edit.com Real-mode emergency text editor

Ext.exe New, simple file extract utility

Format.com Disk format tool

Mscdex.exe Microsoft CD-ROM file extension for MS-DOS

Scandisk.exe Disk status tool

Scandisk.ini Disk status tool configuration file

Sys.com Transfers system files and make disk bootable

Uninstal.exe A tool to remove Windows 98 from the system and return the

system to its previous state

CREATING A RAMDRIVE

===================

The RAMDrive is created during the processing of the Config.sys file and is

2MB in size. The Ramdrive is created using system RAM to emulate a physical

Hard Disk. Without creating the RAMdrive, we would not have enough space on

a single 1.44 meg floppy disk to contain all the diagnostic tools as well

as the CD-Rom drivers.

WARNING: Since the RAMDrive is created during the processing of the Config.sys file

and uses System RAM, it is only temporary. It will disappear if you restart

your computer normally.

LIST OF ALL COMPONENTS ON THE EBD

=================================

The following table describes the function of each file copied to the EBD.

File Function

Aspi2dos.sys Real-Mode Adaptec CD-ROM driver

Aspi4dos.sys Real-Mode Adaptec CD-ROM driver

Aspi8dos.sys Real-Mode Adaptec CD-ROM driver

Aspi8u2.sys Real-Mode Adaptec CD-ROM driver

Aspicd.sys Real-Mode Adaptec CD-ROM driver

Autoexec.bat Startup batch file

Btcdrom.sys Mylex/BusLogic CD-ROM driver

Btdosm.sys Mylex/BusLogic CD-ROM driver

Command.com Command interpreter

Config.sys Loads the device drivers

Drvspace.bin Microsoft DriveSpace compression driver

Ebd.cab Cab file containing extract utilities

Ebd.sys File identifying the ESD

Extract.exe File to expand the Ebd.cab file

Fdisk.exe Disk partition tool

Findramd.exe Utility to find the RAMDrive during startup

Flashpt.sys Mylex/BusLogic CD-ROM driver

Himem.sys XMS Memory Manager

Io.sys System boot file

Msdos.sys Boot option information (paths, multiboot, and so on)

Oakcdrom.sys Generic device driver for ATAPI CD-ROM drives

Ramdrive.sys Creates a Ramdrive during startup

Setramd.bat Searches for first available drive to be a Ramdrive

WINDOWS 98 STARTUP PROBLEMS

===========================

This section includes some common troubleshooting steps that can be used

when it’s necessary to use the Windows 98 Startup Disk. These steps are

designed to get the user at least into Safe-Mode where you have access

to Windows 98 extensive HELP system to further troubleshoot any issues.

Starting Your Computer in Safe Mode

———————————–

There are several reasons why Windows 98 may fail

to start properly. The first step in troubleshooting

is to try starting your computer in Safe Mode. If

Safe Mode works, you can then use the extensive Help

system and troubleshooters located in the Start
