I don't have the 98 SE disk
Ok when trying to install my new PCI Wireless card. It says I need the windows 98 SE disk but the problem I don't have it. It installs the rest of the drivers just fine but why does it need the disk?

See if your computer has a C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS folder, and if the CABS folder contains several .CAB files. If it does, you're in luck.

When you're prompted to insert the Windows 98 CD, click OK, browse to or type in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS and then click OK again. The file copying process should start.
