The Big Win 98 Machine Overhaul Video

[@FluttershyPonyg8Yui0]

Don't know why, but I find his more lengthier videos are kinda therapeutic, because it's just 30 or 40 minutes of a guy fixing computers and doing random shit with them. It's like a weird screwed up ASMR kind of thing for me.

[@kaylan-dy1hx]

I think everyone watching druaga has the same feelings

[@wedzvill2488]

All you know what if the BIOS screen in first Win98 (same model mobo even it startup a bit).

[@loverofsouls]

I don't understand how this guy doesn't have more subs. He is brilliant :D

[@nickeffTV]

loverofsouls Welp, he does now XD

[@AiOinc1]

I've got a case like that for my Phenom 9100e. "Windows XP, yuck!" Well hopefully that's just because you want this to be a Windows 98 system.

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

Hey Druaga, thank you for making more videos! I quite like your work, I get to vicariously relive my first computer experiences by watching you plink around on these dinosaurs. So anyways, thanks again boss !

[@StephenFasciani]

29:37 I can't stop laughing. I find it very amusing that he takes it out and it closes itself.

[@mikemac2188]

that bad boy was fast as hell I'm talking about the new Windows 98 computer that SSD is doing it justice

[@davet231]

Oh the memories, that case had one of my 1st PC builds back in the day even some of the same hardware.

[@BobM925]

Loved that in XP device manager it was called Marijuana XD

[@Raven10241]

+Recycle Hin yeah that's the actual pc brand that it is lol

[@BobM925]

I need to get me one of those lol

[@Raven10241]

lol well there selling like hot cakes so good luck on that one

[@user-im8sb7bl9q]

LOL I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT

[@FuskyTheHusky]

XD

[@drumguy1384]

As I recall, the only thing that made the SB Live! Value different from its big brother was the front panel module. A big 5 1/2 bay insert that provided front ports and a headphone amp (if I remember correctly). I SO wished I could afford one, but I settled for the Value. No Idea where that card is anymore.

[@davet231]

I concur I had the full Live! with said front bay panel.

[@alecjahn]

Sweet two-tone case! I gotta get me one of those.

[@cadari2]

This video brought back good memories of my Windows 98 days. Keep the videos coming. I like them long! lol

[@broinghius2138]

Seymour D. Buttz craw is how i crawl. crahaaawl

[@Natures_Intentions]

That's an awesome windows 98 computer. I always enjoy all of your computer adventures.

[@Zer0ducksgiven]

Thought I recognized that video card, my Win98 machine has the exact same one.

[@wedzvill2488]

Thought I probably known a couple of things that someone who work the RAM and the hard disk; that diskette will boot it up the power while the stuff of Win98; thought the Win98 machine who might insert a floppy disk; if the processors made some EXCELLENT CPUs in both processors (that really it configures settings). If you know that the diskette drive A and some CPU supply (each panel who needs device class) that known your computers does work with those program that controls (requires IDE controller) if you control your mass storage controller, it somebody who's doing that with your computer/PC. THAT KNOWS what IF you installing Win98, you megabytes of RAM will get you own device and your memory area THAT IF MIGHT YOU KNOW MUST DON'T BE CRASHING YOU COMPUTER, DON'T OVERHAUL ON YOUR COMPUTER/PC to protect you data.

[@wedzvill2488]

Did Druaga1 made the new processors for the Win98, #ZeroDucksGiven?

[@TheCureDMan]

You can unplug IDE ribbon cable with SSD from the motherboard and connect it to the other IDE connector on the motherboard (next to the CD-ROMs ribbon cable). This will make your PC boot faster and it will detect your SSD on the actual BIOS screen. Now your SSD is connected to the integrated Promise IDE RAID controller, and this controler increases boot time, but you can disable this controller completely in the BIOS settings. You can also switch off these noisy intake and exhaust fans, very little profit from these fans anyway.

[@BlazeFireXERO]

*gets new video notification* YAY A NEW DRUAGA1 VIDEO. *immediately watches* Aha, in all seriousness. Your videos are off the cuff but done so well, and hillarious, I can see why you're getting so many views. I tuned into you last year, and I have no regrets. :)

[@masonthedunce3711]

Omg I LITTERALLY BURNED A CD YESTERDAY AND HE SAID "if you did it yesterday, i applaud you" DAMNN

[@ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

theres a massive great lever right there on the hard drive cage that you just pull and the whole cage comes out. I know because my windows XP machine uses the same case.

[@MrWaspAvispa]

+Dec lol i kept thinking same thing about the lever was laughing here drinking my beer.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

This KZbin channel rocks.

[@ipeters61]

32:17 - Last Name: 1. Lost it on that one.

[@Techdisk42]

There seems to be a latch on the hard drive cage that would allow you to swing it out and unscrew the "inaccessible" screw. It's the same in old ThinkCenters.

[@linksmith1057]

*As Obi Wan Kenobi* "Matrox. Now that's a name I've not heard for a long time... A long time."

[@dream431ca]

Who knew that watching old PC software installs and old hardware videos could be so entertaining :)

[@JoRosieQueen68]

I knew that since I was a kid.

[@jacknetarchive]

7:14 PC name is MARIJUANA if no one noticed. Also, is there a place to get that startup sound (The startup sound sounds like a missile launch to me).

[@anonymouspepper2012]

*The BenQ Monitor*

[@terribletcm]

Looked up Earthday KZbin video and found Druaga comments from 4 years ago!

[@zeekyboogydoog46]

HOLY SHIT. I've been looking for stairs26.mid for like 18 years. Never could quite remember the name, but when I saw it was a demo midi that came with the SB Live Value card I knew that had to be it.

[@ninjawitasniper3766]

I love that *thing falls off* "What the hell?"

[@WrenFJ]

You should try putting WinFLP on one of your machines :P

[@marcoklink]

14:14 the screws go in the other way through the pcb and screw into the bracket not the other way around...

[@TheNiteNinja19]

The misery of getting soundcards to work. Still somewhat troubling today with integrated audio with OS's without compatible drivers.

[@Sauceboss421]

Andrew Hunt yep.

[@crylune]

Sound cards suck ass today

[@yosuhara]

24:09 how could you say it's copying driver from CD drive and it's slow if it clearly reads that location of the updated driver it's installing (again) is c:\windows? :D :D :D

[@martypines2321]

24:00 "So their churches for your ass" Captions are fun!

[@sharpeyedwatcher9724]

The Cyrix patch is a processor patch for the Cyrix 686 processor.

[@marcoklink]

17:20 you can remove the cage with the lever on the top right of that drive cage. I have the same case for my win98 machine ;D a very advanced design at the time

[@LAUGHINGMANWILL]

6:11 "THESE CRAWLS THEY WILL NOT CRAWL" ...lmao

[@paijoaoxxi1873]

"It doesn't even look like it's in the same century as a real-Windows, real-Windows 98 Machine" Ya mean same Millennium. Windows Millennium. :3 HUEHUEHUEHU- WINDOWS A FATAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED, YOU MAY NOW REALIZE THE JOKE I MADE :3

[@2xAA]

So jelly of your LRR experience. That game is my childhood. Gonna have to build my own machine I think - where do you get your machines, locally or online?

[@eatsleepdie8808]

I was given a whole host of older computer parts (Athlon XPs, some boards for them, a fuck ton of video cards ) and I think I finally have enough to make my own windows 98 machine :D

[@billbillings913]

Just made my Thursday Night, Thanks DR1

[@LeoInterVir]

I had that exact case, it was one of my favorites. I only ever got rid of it because it fell off a chair during moving and dented a few inches.

[@mazraeluya1795]

haha dude you totally missed the oportunity to yell "its alive!!" w that thunder!

[@tOSdude]

I have a pci card with 4 usb 2.0 ports, a sata port, an ide port, and an e-sata port that is probaby just sata but on the metal panel. Quite a card, wonder if I could use it with a retro pc build.

[@LetsPlayKeldeo]

YES I CANT GET ENOUGHT OF YOU

[@thetechstop3875]

that sound blaster live is an xp sound card

[@Knuxfan24]

Does burning a load of Dreamcast games count as putting software on a burnable CD-R inserted into my PC?

[@Doctorj1]

Yes

[@FuskyTheHusky]

meh close enough

[@novadoge9867]

Just fyi, most of the caps on both win98 boards are the same, just the old one looks like it has a crappier something (below the CPU)

[@betamax80]

I remember that SB Live install CD - vogonsdrivers has an ISO of the later LiveWare 3.0, I think it finally fixes the driver installer - also if you browse the CD there is a drivers-only installer which I remember working better.

[@spuddAus]

When was the last time I burned something to a CD?? I was running around at 10pm last Sunday, looking for a store that still sells the blank media!!

[@willgreenslade75]

If you enable "Other boot device" in the bios you might get it to boot from SSD. I had to do that to get my old 98 PC to boot off a promise card

[@eg1885]

To remove the other screw on the hard drive, slide the latch and pull the whole caddy out.

[@ShaneHm2]

I think the reason why it's not detecting in your bios is cause you have the ide SSD plugged into one of the IDE ports belonging to the 3rd party controller (promise controller) not the actual native via chipset

[@Snowwie88]

You can play anything in KZbin as long as it doesn't exceed 30 seconds of play.

[@jackieAZ]

Personally I'm all for the idea of a rock raiders review; remember it from my childhood

[@abandonedchannel7561]

Man that machine gun is great ASMR

[@randomstuffchannel4327]

I went trough the same trouble trying to find the drivers for that sound card. I own the same exact one.

[@betamax80]

Proper SB Live has the main chip as an EMU 10K1, which is quite a pricey chip processing everything on the card. The "Value" cards had a "CA106" chip or something similar - very basic chip, any "clever" stuff done by the drivers.

[@taketimeout2share]

Love your style. Love W98 too. Just got Commanche 3 up and running ......with sound!!! BTW AMD are back with Ryzen. Happy days. Keep up doing W95/98/Me videos. More laptops with Pentium 1/2/3 and AMD equivalent maybe.

[@pearlmax]

I have a drive that does a 29:39 all the time. Instinctively I was expecting it.

[@MrPxlr]

@Druaga1. could you somehow record the computer sounds via aux, in a format that we can sync up to with? maybe just for the computer sounds? Like a sound layer? maybe you could record a split audio stream and turn up the volume there? also, possibly fill the bits were you're talking with a soft recording of your music? not too overpowering though because your voices are great.

[@amiralisalah6432]

good job bro, you have a very nice and funny method of presentation, keep going ;)

[@CantankerousDave]

Lord, I just transplanted an Intel D865PERL-based system out of that same beige monstrosity from the depths of the '90s last week. It weighs a freaking ton, even empty. And that drive cage always had a habit of not fully latching and falling off whenever the case is moved, so be careful. Not one of Antec's better efforts.

[@lavenderfox2430]

My hard drive mounting bracket in my Dell Dimension 2400 is missing, can I just sit my drive in the bottom of the case?

[@banashrack7781]

I put pirated Windows XP 64 bit on a disc because my PC had too much ram for the 32 bit edition. xD

[@DiamondProAlpine]

hmm my second laptop has 8gb of ram and works fine with xp 32bit

[@banashrack7781]

***** 32 bit is maxed out at 4gb. weird lol

[@DiamondProAlpine]

Ben Esh mine only reads 3gb

[@sadcat520]

So it's like a live cd? How does that work? Could you give a link to the torrent?

[@DiamondProAlpine]

Almost Evil 665 no its the regular install cd image you can find that anywhere

[@kennysboat4432]

i found a win xp pc that i have that looks the same and whean i got it same con fig same stuff i got dosent evan show stuff on the screen needs new video card any ideas? i need something cheap no fan works well

[@stestewart1119]

That compaq is a compaq persario RS ?? I had one 1909uk and was not made to run Windows 98 lol

[@danielbriese3972]

I had a soundblaster live card in my gaming computer i built when i was 11 years old.

[@so_cold7776]

hi people, i have an old windows xp machine and i want to idk do something with it... idk what though, any sugestions?

[@so_cold7776]

Camo lol

[@joeyroe9835]

SpiralGaming install Linux puppy on it

[@so_cold7776]

Joey Roe haha, i might do that

[@so_cold7776]

i could do that, i have GTX 760 i could put in it

[@therealtrip9723]

Try win10 and use it as a wifi extender (:

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

I just put together my ultimate windows 98 machine(still need a few upgrades though) it has a 600mhz Pentium iii slot 1, an Asus P2B-F, 384mb of ram(I have another 128mb stick to get it up to 512mb) a Creative Annihilator 2 GeForce 2 GTS 32mb, and an Aureal Vortex Advantage.

[@tOSdude]

Any chance I can get that cd image off you bud? I have literally the exact same card but no disc. I have sound blaster 16 and 128pci disks but a live value card and an awe32 card. The awe software I can probably find easily once I need it.

[@cjhawk67]

A rock raider review would be awesome. I've been trying to get the game to run stable on my northwood pentium 4, nvidea gs 6200, soundblaster live audigy, windows xp sp3 system for awhile and when it wants to run good its buttery smooth but randomly crashes out on some levels. Would love to see a video all about it.

[@davet231]

Northwood>Prescott (aka the infamous preshott!!)

[@asdf_]

2:29 wish i still had this board. had bad caps eventually.

[@emmyheart2082]

Hey Druaga, I noticed that you have drivers for your Hauppage WinTV capture card. I have a similiar card in my 98 machine, but no drivers for it. Do you have a place where I can find a download for them? I'd like to get capture working so I can record my Windows 98 laptop with my Windows 98 Desktop :3

[@Dewotto]

I remember dealing with this crap when I rebuilt a Windows 98 machine. having to transfer files by burning them to CD-Rs to only find out they don't work. also had to go out and buy a SB PCI128 because the model SB Live! Value (Its still a Value card even though it's only labeled as a Live! card) I had only works with 2000/XP.

[@williamgailmard1885]

Why don't you just use an HBA (Host bus adapter) for the SATA ports?

[@johnjohny1312]

Remember, brown is just orange with context... and so is gold!

[@williamreid6255]

I see a Technology Connections fan

[@edwinj223]

I found a blank CD-R out of nowhere, and it was that same printable label one, which I then proceeded to burn Win98SE on. but i'm stuck because my would-be 98 rig won't display an image, and it's not the GPU.

[@Sauceboss421]

SilientDeathStrike try using first edition

[@DECCAS8]

Surprisingly similar to my P4: Asus P4B-M Pentium 4 1.5 GHz 512 MB RAM Nvidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 CD-ROM drive CD/DVD drive WinXP, I plan on dualbooting with Win98

[@leons6906]

Can somebody help me? I' ve also got an amd athlon xp and it all works except the sound. Neither the onboard sound (which is probably broken) nor a Soundblaster 128 work. :( What can I do?

[@jterry211]

was I the only one screaming pull the lever for God's sake when he was messing with the hard drive.

[@WiihawkPL]

Jason Terry "pull the lever, druaga"

[@SHAD0WxF1R3]

I got a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 from a friend for free. I found unofficial drivers for windows 10, and it works flawlessly. I wonder if I should put it in a winXP build?

[@gaveroid418]

+SHAD0WxF1R3 Well, it depends if EAX matters to you. In some older games, you can enable EAX special hardware accelerated sound with your Sound Blaster card. However, it's quite tricky to get EAX properly working under newer OS'es and again, it's only for older games that support it. If you plan on doing a Windows XP build and don't care about EAX, I'd say keep it in your main build. You'll be using your main PC more often (hence "main") and it will have higher quality sound and won't have any interference from the motherboard.

[@solarstrike33]

I'm using an Audigy 2 ZS in my 98 build. :P

[@Evgeny1]

Oh wow, one hour video Kreygasm

[@tuxace4231]

32:40 it said to click cancel to not register

He says in a later video that he meant he didn't want it on that computer. He would of freaked out a lot more if there was Windows ME.

[@delta_cosmic]

hell no windows me sucks ass

[@saeklin]

I would enjoy retro PC building, if not for the bit where I can never find the manuals and drivers for any of my components. Where's the friggin community-supported 'wikipedia' of device drivers?!

[@izkuipers]

28:24 I indeed burn a CD-R yesterday

[@abdulazizalserhani28]

I will do a update video of Pentium III PC, I will use the WinTV Nexus-S to watch TV channels, which I will do later, after I installed Windows XP, I live in Saudi Arabia

[@aemerox5773]

Creative SB Live 5.1 cards had more fixes than the SB gold. I'm surprised that those cards did a pretty good job when playing DVD movies.

[@aemerox5773]

Also forgot to mention you can get better sound drivers from the vorgons driver site.

[@Snowwie88]

17:16 - You could have just pulled that lever to get the whole harddrive cage out and unscrew the screw on the other end. :-)

[@karl-anthonkrutholm4927]

What is the name of the chassi he uses for the Win 98 machine ?

[@loganiushere]

HE DIDN'T INSTALL DRIVERS FOR THE CD-ROM DRIVE!

[@loganiushere]

I don't know what me from a week ago was thinking.

[@andrefreschi04]

How you can make a disc of windows 98 se? I can't make any disk bootable

[@Sauceboss421]

Andre Freschi you have to install FE first.

[@thetechstop3875]

you named your computer marijuana

[@javigafas]

the "fantastic" creative drivers... it take about 37428397 years to install the correct drivers...holy crap xD nice!

[@paulolpop6086]

My first PC was in an Antec case similar to that, but charcoal.

[@loganiushere]

when I installed Windows XP on a Dell dimension e521 I had to download all the drivers from my other computer. Put them on a usb flash drive then install them one by one on the PC, The one I'm making this comet on!
