I am reinstalling win 98se on an OLD K6-2/350 system on a Tynan motherboard. Are the drivers for the motherboard, video, modem etc all stored in the same windows folder and if so what is its name?

I am hoping to get the drivers from an old drive that was previously used in this computer but do not want to ghost the whole drive over. So that when, during installation, win98 asks to insert a disk with the driver on it, I would like to point to the directory on the secondary drive....would this work??

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Nick

Thanks for the replies. Yes these drivers would definitley not be in the cab files. Sounds like it is going to be easier to try to rustle up the necesssary drivers rather than doing anything else. I had hoped they would all be stored in one place. But that answers my question, thanks.

I believe the Windows 98 drivers are stored in the C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS folder. Will that work? I don't know, try it.
