My XP CD was an upgrade from 98SE, thus the XP Home install asks for the 98SE disc early on. It's a brief thing, presumably checking some license file. My question is whether it's possible to include whatever it checks on 98SE in an XP/SP3 slipstream and, if so, what should be included? Thanks.

The Win98 CD check is actually looking for a random file from a large list of files on a Windows 98 CD. Short of having the media, I don't think there is a way to slipstream an install.

Any retail windows 98 CDROM should do - even if its a copy I believe.
