Windows98
Installation requirements |
When
you install an application or upgrade, make sure you have
enough room on your Hard Drive. The same applies for
Windows.
The space you'll need depends on the options you choose.
The following are estimates if we consider the default
installation.
We'll not enter into details now, but just for
completeness.
You can install Windows on a FAT16 or FAT32 drive.
What's FAT ??!! We'll talk about FAT in another tutorial.
For the mean time, just know that FAT32 is faster than
FAT16.
Normally you're on FAT16 so you need 225MB of free space
for
a full default install, however if you include options
you might
need up to 355MB.
If you just bought a new Hard Drive, don't worry about
space.
Note: Full install of
Windows 98 on a FAT32 drive requires
175 MB, so FAT32 is less space consuming...
If
you have a second Hard Drive or the main one is divided
into
several portions, perhaps you need to install to D
if C is almost full.
Make sure you still have 25MB on C
for files created during setup or installation will fail.
