How to Make a Windows 98 Recovery CD

Windows 98 contains a backup utility that you can utilize in order to create a recovery file containing all of the information on your hard drive. Storing this to CD requires a separate CD burning program, as Windows 98 does not have included CD-burning functionality. Regardless, the entire process can be done in around 20 to 30 minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Blank CD
• CD burning program

Instructions

1. Click "Start," "Programs," "Accessories," "System Tools" and "Backup."

2. Select the option to back up "All information on the computer."

3. Click on the location of your hard drive to store the backup file and press "Finish."

4. Open your CD burning software and create a "Data" CD.

5. Drag the backup file to the queue and press "Burn" to create your recovery CD.
