Windows 98 SE Tiny with USB driver

Original Windows 98 SE ISO stripped of everything unnecessary for the installation to succeed. USB driver nusb36e.exe added to the win98 folder of the ISO for convenience. Software used is UltraISO free trial. For use with Easy2Boot USB installation on a retro PC with maximum 512MB of RAM. Easy2Boot loads the entire ISO to RAM, so the image needs to be small. Instruction: - Create an Easy2Boot USB stick using the software from easy2boot.xyz - Copy the ISO to the _ISO/Win folder of the Easy2Boot USB stick - Rename the file extension from .iso to .isoDOS01, such that the whole filename will become "Windows 98 SE Tiny.isoDOS01". This is so that Easy2Boot will properly initialise the C: drive to be the internal master HDD, the A: drive to be the floppy boot image and the B: drive to be the CD image. - Once booted into the image, the floppy boot image will load, pick "Start Windows without CD-ROM support" to end up on DOS command prompt and access tools such as fdisk. - For ease of use, after successfully partitioning and formatting using fdisk, copy the entire win98 folder from the B: drive to the C: drive (which will also copy the USB driver over) and run setup from C: drive. Setup will be a lot faster than running off the USB stick. The command for copying can be something like: c: md winsetup cd winsetup b: cd win98 copy *.* c: Product key: RW9MG-QR4G3-2WRR9-TG7BH-33GXB
