Anyone using Win 98 Beta3 should not test for Y2K compliance. It will
expire your beta version.
Should you find yourself with a W98 system that won't boot; the fix is to
boot with an old boot disk, not the W98 rescue disk. If you boot with the
W98 rescue disk, it will be disabled also.
Boot with any 6.22/Win95 boot disk containing sys.com, set the S, R,
attributes in C:\ to off.
attrib c: -s -r
Then sys the C: drive with the W98 rescue disk to restore command.com
and io.sys.
Note: The default W98 rescue disk does not contain sys.com, so copy it
>from C:\windows\command to your rescue disk _now_ , as in today. :)
