Windows Boot Disks

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: 1stKnight

I have meant to ask about this for a long time but never got around to it.

Consider the fact that recent windows releases presume to catalogue a PC's hardware during installation then:

Why does a bootdisk contain so many files that do not apply to my PC such as the ASPI files etc. that refer to SCSI hardware when I have no SCSI on my system and

It leaves me to sometimes edit my bootdisk to add required elements I desire about my hardware setup.

Any enlightenment gratefully accepted.

An IDE controller is actually considered SCSI in a technical sense. So that may well be for your IDE controller.

The windows 98 bootdisk is meant for (almost) all computers, not just yours.

If you only have SCSI cdrom drives, you need those drivers for it to work (unless you have the diskette version of windows ).
