Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) is an operating system released by Microsoft Corporation in 1999. It is an updated version of the original Windows 98 and is designed to improve the performance, stability, and compatibility of the operating system.
Windows 98 SE is designed to run on personal computers with a minimum of a 486DX processor and at least 16 megabytes (MB) of RAM. It supports both 32-bit and 16-bit applications, making it compatible with a wide range of software programs.
Some of the new features of Windows 98 SE include improved Internet support, including Internet Explorer 5.0, Outlook Express 5.0, and Microsoft NetMeeting 3.0. It also includes support for Universal Serial Bus (USB), which allows users to connect peripherals such as printers, scanners, and cameras easily. Other features include support for DVD playback, improved sound and video support, and an updated version of DirectX, which improves graphics performance.
Windows 98 SE also includes the Windows Driver Model (WDM), which is a driver architecture that enables plug and play compatibility with hardware devices. This feature allows users to easily add and remove hardware devices without having to manually install drivers.
One of the notable improvements of Windows 98 SE is its support for FAT32, which allows for larger hard drives and files up to 4 gigabytes (GB) in size. It also includes improved power management features, making it more efficient and reliable for laptop users.
Overall, Windows 98 SE is an updated and improved version of the original Windows 98, with features that make it more user-friendly and compatible with a wider range of software and hardware devices.
Installation instructions:
Hardware requirements can be bypassed in the setup with the undocumented /nm setup switch. This will allow systems as old as the 80386 with 8MB of RAM to run Windows 98 (although this will be far from optimal)
Important: Only the OEM Full version is bootable. All others require an appropriate Windows 98 Boot Floppy.
Note: VMWare and VirtualBox can be problematic with Windows 9x. You may need to disable various acceleration features first, or consider emulators like x86Box or PCem.
To speed up installation, and to avoid numerous problems, copy the win98 folder to a folder on the hard drive (such as c:\win98) and then run setup from there.

He actually worked hard to make the title, and ISO. If something is wrong with the disk, it may be your internet, since the internet archive doesnt allow corrupted files.

yeah just grab the boot disk its the one thats 7z. its a floppy that came with the disks when 98 se came out.
On vmware when you start making the VM you need to go into advanced and add a floppy drive, and use the img file thats in that 7z.
