Using existing hard drive

Before you turnoff the P11 for the last time, go into device manager and uninstall everything. Then when you start the new system,you will have to load all the new drivers. It would be a good idea to load the mobo cd onto your hdd, as when you restart, you may not have the cd player working. ( no ide driver)

Under 98 it's not too dificult. First copy the chipset drivers to your hard drive from the CD. Also copy the Win98 directory from your CD to C: Then go into safe mode and remove everything from device manager. Now switch the parts.

The best thing to do next is reinstall 98 over your old installation, that will configure stuff for you so you don't get redundant devices, and won't harm any of your data. To do this, I suggest you start (with your new parts in place) to "Command Prompt Only" using the F8 key just before boot. In DOS mode cd c:\win98, setup. Then install the chipset drivers from the place you stored them, so you can get use of your CD-ROM back.
