Windows 98 Upgrade Information
Follow the instructions provided in this document to upgrade your
NEC Versa
the system's BIOS and the system's save-to-disk utility depending on the hard
drive format used on your NEC Versa (16-bit versus 32-bit format).
Please read these notes in their entirety.
Although not a requirement, NEC recommends that you use
the system's AC power adapter throughout this process. The
Windows 98 upgrade is somewhat lengthy and interrupting
the process with a loss of power can be catastrophic if the
system performs an emergency save-to-file.
Background
If you are using the FAT16 file-system format (16-bit based File Allocation
Table), then the BIOS and the save-to-disk utility (HDPrepEz) do not have to be
updated.
double click on the My Computer desktop icon. Next, right
click on the C: drive icon, and select Properties. If the
system is running FAT32, it is listed here next to "File
system." If it is FAT16, FAT or FAT 16 appears.
If you intend to convert your hard drive to the FAT32 file
system format we recommend that you first update the BIOS
and the save-to-disk utility (HDPrepEz).
Failure to do this can result in catastrophic data loss.
System Requirements
The system requirements for your NEC Versa using Windows 98 are
approximately the same as they are for using Windows 95. As with Windows
95, Windows 98 requires 16 MB of RAM. For hard disk space, a typical
installation requires 225 MB of free hard disk space, but may range from 165
MB to 300 MB, depending on system configuration and options selected.
