Windows 98

The Ebd.cab file is a compressed file whose contents are extracted to the Ramdrive during the startup process. The purpose of EBD.CAB is to make a Windows 98 boot disk (on a floppy).

I'm assuming you are asking about Windows Vista Features. There is an extensive and thorough discussion on this issue at the "bleeping computer" website, which begins with the following statements: "A Windows Vista feature is simply a set of programs or a particular capability of the operating system that can be enabled or disabled by an administrator. It is important to note that in Windows Vista, when you remove or disable a feature, you are not actually removing files from your hard drive, but rather just deactivating them. Therefore disabling a feature should not be used as a method of freeing up hard drive space. On the other hand, by disabling a feature you may gain an increase in performance due to memory and processor utilization no longer being allocated towards the particular feature."

Windows XP. Windows 98 never had a secure design to begin with, and it has received no security updates since 2006. Windows XP is still receiving security updates, and will continue to do so until 2014.

Windows Vista.

It is recommended by Microsoft as a more complete and thorough way to remove an application rather than using the proprietary un-install option on the software installed. However, occasionally some files and folders can be left behind and these will have to be removed manually from the "program files" folder.

A hidden file is a file file that does not appear in the directory list. A 9x/ME file like this would be boot.ini. A hidden file is a file that is not displayed in a directory list. Whether to hide or display a file is one of the file's attributes kept by the OS. A 9x/Me file like this would be boot.ini.

Resizing and restoring windows are similar but different tasks. Resizing a window is likely self explanatory - you can make the window larger or smaller, and you can resize the window vertically, horizontally, or a combination of the two. Restoring windows, however, does not allow you to do the same thing. Restoring the window reverts the window to its previous location and size if you have either minimized or maximized the window.

Windows XP was the first Microsoft OS to embed Windows Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, a Windows firewall, and other Microsoft products into the OS.

Windows 98 came with support for USB built-in; Windows 95 needed an add-on released only for OEM versions.

Windows 98 supports FAT32 (and thus larger hard drives) out of the box; Windows 95, again, needed an add-on.

Windows 98 included DirectX 5.0; Windows 95 did not ship with any version of DirectX.

Windows 98 integrated Internet Explorer into the desktop shell; Windows 95 did not by default.

No, and neither would it be desirable. Windows 98 cannot boot off an NTFS partition, and if your system was using a FAT16 partition, it is probably not large enough to benefit from NTFS anyway.

A product key should be used ONLY for 1 computer. The product key should not be used more than once. However, if you have used a product key more than once, the product key can be changed without re-installing the operating system.

difference between window95 and window98?

Most will, but Windows 2000 did not focus as heavily on backwards-compatibility as Windows XP does, and a few games may work improperly or require Administrator privileges.

Depends on which operating system you are using and whether you want to copy more than one file.

In DOS/Windows command prompt "c:\copy xxxx /destination_folder/"

if more than one file you can use "c:\copy xxx.* /destination_folder/"

Xcopy has more options (verify, copy subdirectories ..) and is used "c:\xcopy xxx* /s /destination_folder/"

In Unix/Linux/OSX cp is the command for copying

as in "#darkstar$cp -R *.txt /destination_folder/"

cp has a lot more option than xcopy but you will need to type either "cp --help" or "man cp" to get the best of cp's actions.

Windows 98 uses FAT32 partitions. A FAT32 partition has a maximum theoretical size of 8 TB, but with 512-byte sectors found on most hard drives, you cannot have a FAT32 partition of more than 2 TB.

Also, Windows 98 does not support LBA48 addressing by default, though there is a patch available. Without both this patch and a BIOS capable of LBA48 addressing (all BIOS from 2002 and later can), you cannot access ANY part of the hard drive, be it partitioned or not, beyond 127 GB. So the largest practical partition size for any Windows 98-era computer is a 127 GB partition on a 127 GB hard drive. Anything larger than that is unusable.

You can take off applications that you want to keep but you must have a good means of storing that application like with a zip drive or flash USB storage device. Can I ask a question, what do you mean when you say "take everything off" in computer terms that means a "format" which means you will be formatting your hard drive which will remove EVERYTHING, I mean start you from the beginning. This means you will not have an operating system and will need to reinstall Windows to get back going, but be mindful, EVERYTHING you had on that computer will be erased.

LOTS Better Find yourself a "zero-fill" utility. There are plenty of free ones online; most of the major hard drive makers supply one with every drive they sell. The "zero-fill" utility should be on a bootable disk, be it a CD-ROM or a floppy, depending on your system. Run the "zero-fill" utility on your PC. Be patient! It takes time to write billions of zeroes! When the "zero-fill" utility is finished, your hard drive will be in the condition it enjoyed the day it left the factory.

To install Windows 98, you should have both an installation CD and a bootable floppy. If your system will boot from a CD (most will these days), you won't need the floppy. Insert the CD or floppy disk, turn the thing on, and you're off to the races.
