today i was able to install windows 98 from a disk complete with OEM product key. However, it won't detect a modem (which I know is there - lucent win modem) and has no sound (had soundblaster installed originally. No modem, no sound. . . any suggestions? And can I try to install now from the windows xp restore disk (it is from a HP and have the key). Any suggestions and advice is appreciated.

If it is and HP with the original motherboard, go to the HP support website and under the model number, see if you can get the drivers from there

What is the "read only" with this replying section??? I have an Acer that's BIOS locked, this seems relevant. It has something known as Broadcom PXE 2.1, what does that look for to boot? I guess it only works because there's no HDD, once the HDD is attached, it boots only that device!??
