Default adding program

Yes, ive done that on this computer.. The best way that
i know of is to make a second partition, or just put in a
second hard drive, and install windows on there.. Use
your Windows 98 cd as a boot disk and install it, if you
cant boot from it, then use a windows 98 boot disk to
boot into DOS mode, if you dont have one, you can
download one from kazaa, do a Software search for "Win 98
boot disk" and some programs will come up that will make
one for you, then install it to the new partition (if you
dont know what a partition is, its just another drive,
kindof like a new hard drive with a different drive
letter).

The only problem is when you install some programs,
they'll still want to install things to drive C, and its
best by far to change the drive letter on programs you
install to the new drive letter which will probably be
drive D, and your cd rom will move to drive E, if you
have 2 cdrom's, they'll be drive E and drive F.

I hope that helped
