#Hiren s bootcd 9.5 drivers#
My DX2 folder has the video, sound, network drivers for the cards in that PC.Īlso in here is any documentation relating to said hardware.Īpps (which includes OS's) and a simple txt file listing which software goes with which Windows version, eg IE8 = final WinXP, IE6= Final 98/2k
Personally I've got 3 folders on my "server" that's shared out for all my retro stuff:ĭrivers can either be sorted by manufacture Intel, Nvidia, etc or by which PC the hardware lives in. Pdf's etc are much better off on something relatively modern or even your daily driver as really this is where you'll be reading them anyway and SATA drives are soo much bigger then trying to squeeze everything on a CD or IDE drive. Going by your post count your relatively new to the hobby and yes it'll take a while to build up your software library but do agree in building one, just not on the retro PC itself.

Possibility any other software you like to install although once the OS is up and running ideally you'll have network running as well.
Reply 3 of 19, by zapbuzzīetter then a CD is create a recovery partition on the hard drive either way the list is the same If you are looking for a DOS install boot CD "MS-DOS 7.1 (CDU) China Dos Union" works well, also there is FreeDOS Legacy CD-ROM, however FreeDOS is not "exactly" DOS, but it is most of the time close enough.Ī long time ago in the far away time of the mid-1990 I had bought a number of CD-ROMs that had collections of DOS and Windows 3.1 software, they included drivers, freeware, and shareware, many of them can be now be downloaded at the Internet Archive. If you are looking for a boot CD full of utility tools that will work for older computers "Hiren's BootCD 9.5" works for that. I am in the process of making something like that now, but not a CD-ROM because it would be way too small, I am likely going to fill a hard drive, I have been using computers since I was a kid, and now I am in my mid 40s, and I was a heavy downloader over the years, and still am, I am just now sorting over files I downloaded in the late 1990s and putting them into labelled directories, 🤣, I am so lazy, and I am also downloading what I can from the Internet Archive, and other places, I am trying to make a huge compilation of drivers, freeware, and abandonware for DOS, Win3.1, and Win98, I do have a fair amount of stuff for WinXP but that's not the my focus right now, right now I am mostly trying to find drivers and other useful software for DOS and Win3.1.
