I have a win 98 client that had bad power supply and mother bd.. but hard drive is still good. It was orginally installed on a old pentium pc. I tried to put the hard drive in a pentium 3 pc. It now starts to boot up but asks for win 98 cd to get addional driver.. does it matter if you use win 98 or win 98se cd.. thanks

If the files are older than the files loaded, there will be an error message telling you so and will ask if you want to load them anyway...just do so and go to Windows Update afterwards to make sure all files are updated to the latest possible.

Also go to the manufacturers site for the motherboard, sound card, etc. & update the drivers to the latest version.

Good Luck.
