I have a laptop from 1998 with Windows 98. Since I want to install a program on the laptop, I burned a CD ROM on a Windows 10 PC, but then the Windows 98 laptop says
D: can't be accessed.
Device is not ready
What do I have to do so that I can access the CD?
I don't know, but many new things don't work on the old things.
The old drives can't handle the burned CD's from Windows 10. Try to copy the files to a USB stick under Windows 10, it could work under Windows 98.
That could be due to the file system. Windows 98 still works on FAT 32, windows 10 on NTFS
But all of them work with CDFS when burning.
How big is the CD-Rom? 650MB 700MB or 800MB?
At 800MB, the drive may not be able to read the ROM.
When burning, make sure that you are burning in ISO format.
Windows burns in UDF format on its own - Win98 can't read it.
Um, Peppie - we're talking about optical media here.
It has nothing to do with FAT, NTFS & Co.
800 MB either way not.
CDs end at 700MB
The blank may not be larger either. Win 98 is sensitive there.
Doesn't matter - if it's more than 700MB, it's no longer a CD. 🤷♂️
Win 98 has its own philosophy. Hard drives can't be larger than 128 GB. Partitioning doesn't help. 800 MB are still on the CD.
I've worked with Win 98SE for years.
How can I burn in ISO format? Under Formatting on CD there's only UDF, and I haven't found anything helpful on the Internet either
A CD-ROM (!) Is not formatted.
You burn them with a burning program.
Nero or CDBurnerXP e.g. B.
