Yeap I read a lot of complaints about my solution. Yet the OP wants to
install W98 on his bro's HD using the OP's PC. And the OP did just that
after he got another version of the W98 CD.

So which drivers and bios settings is on his bro's HD ?

I've used my solution a number of times when I was moving to ever larger
HDs. Take the HD out of one PC and put in another without major
castrophes. Yes I may have needed to redo a driver but nothing major.
