To install Windows 98 on your ThinkPad from a blank hard drive, please follow the instructions provided below:
Note: Before installing Windows 98 on your ThinkPad, you are strongly recommended to get the latest System Program Service Diskette and update your system BIOS. Also, it's recommended that you obtain from IBM all updated software that you will need to install on your ThinkPad after installing Windows 98. Lastly, IBM recommends that you use a diskette backup program on your system to create recovery diskettes of the preinstalled Windows 95 operating system, device drivers, and applications if you do not have a Recovery CD or Back-up CD with CD-ROM drive on your system.
1. Boot into DOS.
2. Insert the Windows 98 CD into the CD-ROM drive.
3. At the DOS prompt, type format C: and press ENTER, where the letter C: is the drive designation for your computer's hard drive that you want to install Windows 98 onto.
Warning: Formatting will destroy all information and data on that specified hard drive. Therefore, executing the command format C: at the DOS prompt will destroy all information, including the operating system, on the C: drive.
4. Next, at the DOS prompt, type D:\Win98\SETUP, where the letter (D:) is the drive designation for your computer's CD-ROM.
5. Press ENTER and follow any prompts that are presented on your screen until the installation has completed. If you encounter problems setting up Windows 98, refer to the setup.txt file that comes with the installation CD.
6. When the installation process is completed, your computer will be ready to run Windows 98.
Note: If you are installing Windows 98 on your ThinkPad and are using the OS/2 Boot Manager, you may experience an exception error during the setup process. If this occurs, power-off and restart your computer. After restarting your computer, the Setup program will proceed with the installation of Windows 98.
2.2 Installing the ThinkPad Utility (2-3 min)
The ThinkPad Utility will allow you to select various features for your ThinkPad under Windows 98. Such features include: power management, Fuel-Gauge program, Personalization Editor, Alarm, and others. However, in order for your ThinkPad to fully utilize these features, you will need to install this utility on your computer after installing Windows 98. Three separate diskettes will need to be downloaded from IBM's Web site.
Please follow the instructions listed below to install the ThinkPad Utility on your computer:
1. Start Windows 98.
2. Insert the ThinkPad Utility Diskette for Windows 95 disk into the diskette drive.

2.11 Applying registry fix to enable the system to enter Standby(suspend), while using a PCMCIA modem card and while docked to a docking station - Applies to all ThinkPad 760xx/765x models, except the 760C/CD & 760L/LD. (1-2 min)
To allow your system to enter Standby while using a PCMCIA modem card or while docked to a docking station, you will need to apply a registry fix. Failing to apply this fix under Windows 98 will prevent your ThinkPad from entering Standby in either of these cases. This registry fix can be located on the Windows 98 Supplement File Diskette.
To apply this patch, please follow the instructions listed below:
1. Start Windows 98.
2. Insert the Windows 98 Supplement File Diskette disk into the diskette drive.
3. Click: Start => Run.
4. Type A:\docksusp\docksusp.reg in the 'Open' field and click on OK.
5. A window titled "Registry Editor" will appear on your screen. Click on YES to add information to the registry.
6. Click on OK to verify that the information has successfully been added to the registry.
7. Remove any disk from the diskette drive and restart your computer.
2.13 Applying the updated modules from Microsoft to correct the issue: When the computer resumes from a Standby mode, the telephony and audio functions do not work.
Initial version of Windows 98 has this issue. To correct this, you have to replace 2 modules in Windows 98. IBM prepared a batch file to do it at once. These modules are available in IBM Web site as MWPATW98.EXE
To download the MWPATW98.EXE from IBMÆs Web site, click here. The module is self extractable, build the diskette and follow the instructions below:
1. Start Windows 98.
2. Insert the work diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Click: Start => Run.
4. Type A:\minstall in the æOpenÆ field and click on OK.
