Do you have it installed and are able to host it somewhere?

I wasn't sure if giving link to the file will work directly or not... but you can browse to the file (among others) from here : https://web.archive.org/web/20220507202322/ht … X4EVER/GOODIES/

So what could I possibly be doing wrong?

Who knows. Modified windows media? Corrupted install files?

Sadly, this didn't work either. 🙁

Well I've tried multiple Windows 98 CDs I have and even Quick Install, and they all have problems.
This PC uses SATA for the hard drive, and the only other SATA device I have on hand is an SSD, and that fairs even worse, as I probably should have expected...

I did notice when making a backup that 2MB of the hard drive is "unreadable". I'll try and get another HDD to see if that works...

...I have a defective stick of RAM.

Tiido suggested I try memtest on another forum, and noticed that I kept getting errors. As suggested by the internet, I removed one stick of ram and now it was going through without problems. Inserted it again, errors again, removed it again, and no errors.

So I'll be needing to find a replacement for that. Seems 256MB DDR1 sticks are cheap on eBay right now, so gonna get one as soon as I can.

Thanks for the help, everyone
