Windows 2, Part 2 : Installing Stuff & Forgetting about Jumpers

[@JoeCrowman]

I couldn't stop watching, your videos brought back the old memories of DOS and windows 3. I had a 386 33MHz with a 1 MB ram and a VGA card, my HDD was a 100MBs only...

[@ArthurDNB]

Man your channel is amazing, please keep your work! I get myself laughing so much with you!

[@realdiamondplays]

Half laugh half CAN I RECORD SOME OF YOUR SOUND EFFECTS (example the ms dos gun and reload)

[@xenith800]

Oh man that floppy noise... brings back so many memories...

[@Trusteft]

+xenith800 It's massage to the ears/brain.

[@glitchingaming2343]

I still use floppy drives xD

[@_lun4r_]

Trusteft a massage?i thought message (wiadomo¶ci)

[@MuhammadIlhamuodd254512]

MarioFan 835 I do too for pianos

[@glitchingaming2343]

I just use 'em to read old floppies

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

"it's got an S and a D in there somewhere" haha best line

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

lemmonsinmyeyes actually he said: its got a ssd in there somewhere.

[@denniswoycheshen]

I wish I saw these earlier. This guy is amazing. Reminds me of what I might of become had I had the room to keep old computer gear. The issue with booting the hard drive is that he didn't tell the CMOS to do so. I think anyways. I'm at 16:00. He needs a battery ultimately, but if he set the bios to boot from the hard disk (sorry as card) I think that would solve the problem. I seriously doubt it's the motherboard. But we will see in part 3.

[@robert357900]

23:18 that mess after "Incorrect DOS version" is hilarious, I laughter more than I should have

[@jonavene12]

That's actually the first windows blue screen

[@TheTooBig]

I wish I had found this channel before, this is awesome. I am bingewatching all of these now that I have the time, just got my fist plastered...

[@K-o-R]

There's something cool about how the setup screen didn't really change all the way up to Windows XP.

[@justtrying161]

You're the only one who can make a catastrophic old Windows installation funny. Keep the good work! :D

[@ypoora1]

The reason the BIOS settings get messed after restart is because the older style AT power supply spec doesn't have any standby power. Your motherboard goes completely unpowered until you turn it on.

[@jamesgarza4412]

i wish more people would watch this channel. you make quality content tbh

[@Playstation4-q2l]

Jameson Leedle *why*

[@josephc2801]

Hey druaga1, Windows 2 -> 10 upgrade fest?

[@nicholasbrooks7349]

Joseph C Windows 1-10

[@aidenmcdonald1597]

that garbled text is Windows 2 form of BSOD

[@Hogdriva]

If you pause it just above the garbeled text it says "Incorrect DOS version" lol why can't modern BSODs be so direct

[@Slay1337pl]

Because something went wrong :(

[@jet-it9cr]

I believe it is actually the binary of...something...

[@humanbeing_]

NK358 it also happened on his 3rd install attempt in the 'A Complicated Windows 95 Install' video and he says "fuck up for computer entirely" - oddly enough he just clicked past the error both times lol. I love that video; In my top 5 favorites of his ever along with the Dos 7.1 install video.

[@HydroPrinceStudios]

I really liked how unique your long vids were. That kind of format really fits your kind of videos; the viewer is able to follow the "journey" of the installation much better. I feel that cutting it up into parts ruins that charm.

[@Druaga1]

+HydroPrinceStudios Yeah I hate it. After this "experiment" I'm going back to the long contiguous videos. I just wanted to see how a video-a-day would work.

[@HydroPrinceStudios]

Okay, awesome. Thanks for responding :) good work btw

[@techjunkie133]

+Druaga1 that's good to know, nice to have just one super long video to watch while I chill

[@JonathanKing9608]

1:30 is why I love this channel, got confused why you put 04/3/16 then I remembered you read dates as mm/dd/yyyy :D

[@Dojan5]

+Jonathan King (lNomNoml) You like this channel because of confusing date stamps? :C

[@JonathanKing9608]

Dojan5 no when he uses the floppy's as magazines for a gun :D

[@aissaelwadjih4785]

18:09 "okay!" i expected him to say after that "let's do some dancing!" for some weird reason

[@rokero171]

I've learned how to install Windows on an old Pentium 100 computer that i've had in 2001, this brings me so many memories...

[@MrTibbs90]

You have the most amazing collection of stuff. You rock!

[@chriskalkman3815]

yeah, I tried to install windows 10 on my 2007 Dell optiplex 745. Every time it would cycle the loading animation 1.5 times, it would blue screen IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. It restarted three times and on the third time it said CMOS voltage low. what a relief! a dying CMOS battery can drive your computer insane. I was able to install W10 without a hitch after that.

[@avocatdelamusique9778]

Oh man, I love those kind of videos. Would love to start posting those myself, but since my English speaking skills are horrible, that opportunity will be left aside. Funny thing though, I had even older PCS with 486s builtin and all of the hard drives I've put in - they worked flawlessly. One instance, which I still remember was that bad sectors were appearing for no reason. :D after messing around, it turned out that controller was so bad, that if it even recognized all of the drive capacity, it would write garbage instead of correct data to the sectors (not to all of them, only to those, which controller was unable to properly see and access)

[@davie261]

Ahhhh brings back some old memories, when building a computer and installing OS and drivers were fun :)

[@retroguy74]

12:56...as an IT guy myself, this is my daily mantra.

[@TheTechnoGuy18]

If you look on the BSOD'S on Windows 2, it says "Incorrect DOS Version"

[@techjunkie133]

Druaga1 would you ever do a video showing all your floppys and pcs and other random electronics? I would love to see your electronics!

[@Nanospark0]

12:15 The "B " volume label is caused by a FAT16 volume being used on Windows 10 (I'm not sure if Windows 8/8.1 had this issue or not) and then transferred back to MS-DOS 6.22.

[@christopherscharf8185]

So this is what happens when one attempts to build a working computer while high and/or sleep deprived

[@soranogaara]

I was tryin to install coll of duty to window 4 and my pc is sayin i need jumpers but i press space and i try to jump but it wont jump, maybe i need to format my tower of druaga

[@allentyree4457]

Don't older machines have issues reading high density pata cables?

[@Druaga1]

+Allen Tyree i had a scene where i swapped the cables out, but the context was wonky and the footage sucked so i scrapped it.

[@allentyree4457]

Ah okay, Thank you for replying.

[@kommers]

+Druaga1 I guess you forget to run "fdisk /mbr". Don't need to swap motherboard.

[@dakotamew]

no Older machine hate mechanical disks and love ssds xD

[@ultrametric9317]

Windows 386 v. 2 was the beginning of the modern world. The 80386 CPU had a virtual 8086 mode which solved the problem of running real-mode DOS code from old programs under a multi-tasking protected mode operating system. IBM stubbornly insisted on using the 80286 CPU for OS/2 but that CPU could not easily go back and forth from real mode to protected mode. If IBM had abandoned the 80286 CPU and exploited the virtual 8086 mode of the new 80386 CPU, we'd all be living in an IBM world today. It was a brilliant insight on the part of Bill Gates - yes Bill Gates - to diverge with IBM and target Windows for the new 80386 CPU. And yes, the virtual 8086 built into the hardware of the 80386 was the great grandfather of our modern virtual machines.

[@JustKali.]

certified poop ni**a

[@roennev]

How faded are you when recording these videos ? Don't know why I can't stop watching

[@stathissim]

The problem is that HIMEM.SYS needs to be loaded on the CONFIG.SYS, you can do that on the floppy drive and then run Windows. If you don't load HIMEM.SYS you don't have access to eXtended memory, so it will not run Windows. Or you can configure Windows not to use the extended memory and use only conventional memory (640K). You can copy config.sys and autoexec.bat from C:\ to A:\ and most probably you will be ok.

[@TheRetroMess]

I swear, some of those old hard disks with the high pitched whine probably contributed to my tinnitus. I worked with a lot of hard drives in my day...

[@MsJinkerson]

it is a possibility you are reverting back like the dos 6 on a newer o.s. I have had that problem installing nt on a windows 98 o.s.

[@RogerBarraud]

11:40 This right here is why we LET THE INSTALL DOS FORMAT THE DRIVE.

[@RogerBarraud]

08:42 Welcome to my world of 30 years ago.... ...all day, every day.

[@TerrySterling-Thatguy]

Hurry up with the next one.

[@bundesautobahn7]

Doesn't FAT 16 go indeed up to 2 GB? I've seen people create 2 GB partitions in MS-DOS 6.22 via FDISK.

[@mercuryoak2]

I'm glad I know nothing about dos or Windows 1 2 or 3. I remember using Windows 95 at first then 98 in school and xp

[@ZachKyew]

My family's first computer was one that my uncle built with some parts. It had a 500 MB hard disk, a floppy drive, and no CD reader. That meant installing Windows 98 on floppy disks. And my siblings were 5-10 years old, so more often than not, they would end up putting a virus on it, and more often than not, my mom would end up wiping it and reinstalling Windows about once or twice a week.

[@limewirepro]

I'm pretty earligh. Notice. I figuired out why you like Macs. They come with a free bong!

[@allentyree4457]

+Glacy Get out

[@limewirepro]

Allen Tyree lol no

[@awsomDixie]

That was pretty good

[@chrisfratz]

Allen Tyree why should he leave?

[@joshplays3471]

first time ever being on a comment this early!!!!!!! and ur channel is rly good!

[@ghostrecoon11]

It was fun to watch this vid. You had no idea what to do

[@DCRofoJR]

Is the original windows 98 machine's motherboard a ASUS K8N ? I would really like to know.

[@thecount25]

Did you try "fdisk /mbr" and "sys c:"

[@itzspencerr1403]

[@catink123]

I like your videos very much thank you for videos very interesting and not boring you are cool!

[@freedomofflight3138]

What OS were you using when configuring the hard disk with GParted?

[@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav]

Linux

[@goyabee3200]

Removing gpt partition table requires more than deleting all the partitions with GParted. What I do: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ bs=512 count=2048 Cleans 'er out goooood. Then you have to open 'er up with fdisk and give 'er a good ol' MBR - you know the drill.

[@goyabee3200]

Disclaimer: Yes, I know there is a way to do it with gdisk but I can't remember it off the top of my head and involves a hidden 'expert mode' menu - I think you press 'x' to get to it. BTW, gparted uses parted as a backend, not fdisk. Also, parted.

[@RogerBarraud]

0:22 Why? You said you put in 16MB; there's 8MB on the mobo soldered in...

[@cheeseninja3063]

What is that disk you use to format things, can you link it to me?

[@sans4942]

Hiren's Boot CD

[@KylesDigitalLab]

I thought you said dick instead of disk

[@bnmc]

It's PartedMagic, but it costs money. Just use the Gparted live cd.

[@byspigotdev3819]

The Text at the Bootup Screen is actually a BSOD, it only isn't formatted

[@DxDeksor]

Normally, dos can go up to 2/4GB for hard drives, but some bioses that doesn't support lba can't use more than 504MB without some tools ... For a 486 it's normal, but for a pentium it's realy odd ... Maybe that was desactivated in the bios ?

[@ZeldaAwesomeZA]

I absolutely LOVE your videos man! I have been watching you since you got like 6k subscribers, and well I would like to donate to you is there somewhere where I can? I know the fan funding doesn't work anymore so I'm now clueless on where. -Mr. Z

[@hingeslevers]

I just noticed that WIN 2 still ships HELVE.FON. I wonder when they made Arial to replace Helvetica. Probably when they started using truetype in windows 3.1.

[@KernelPanic0]

I see that reference, I SEE THE ALLUSION!

[@ab.3800]

yay Packard Bell. Last time I saw one of those machines, I was in 2nd grade lol

[@minbcraft]

I Was in 3rd grade and Thailand was flooded that year lol

[@johnroberts2905]

Those Packard Bell PB520R Pentium boards had 8MB RAM onboard, not 640K as stated in the video.

[@xXAce_TnTXx]

Ahhh, the classic sound of a floppy drive reading a floppy disk, most kids these days will never hear that sound lol.

[@pentiummmx2294]

i had a Packard Bell motherboard exactly like that, but it stopped recognizing hard drives and cd rom drives on both ide ports, no matter which ide cable im using. I have a working pentium 3 PC, it won't be the same for dos gaming, but it has a ISA slot so i can put my soundblaster 16 in it.

[@JoshSonic]

I like looking back at this knowing from my knowledge messing with Win2 in VMs as a kid that the 8088 and 286 versions of Windows 2.x are far easier to install and far less picky about DOS versions (especially since DOS 5 and 6 have SETVER already set up to accommodate those editions of Win2) If it was either of THOSE versions of Win2, this series would've been 2 parts instead of 4. :P But that would've been BORING right?

[@MotownBatman]

LOL I Dig the LGR Voice Commentary

[@Talondrone]

did you notice it said 420MB? even the DOS partition is high on pot! (i'm sure you noticed though)

[@milesnetwork69]

11:09 MS DOS's version of 2 Gigabytes *ITS OVER 9000!*

[@Shytzedaka]

Can you explain me basicly why do jumpers matter?

[@ale8oneboy]

+Shy tzedaka IDE hard drives require jumpers to address them. Jumpers settings are usually Master, Slave or Cable Select (CS). In a single drive setup. You would use Master on the primary channel. In a two drive setup you could either set them both to Master and run them on separate channels. Or set one to Master and the other to Slave on the same channel. If you set all drives to Cable Select (my preferred method) the system will assign master or slave depending on where you plug the drive in on the cable chain on the channel.

[@Shytzedaka]

I see so the jumpers are the ide cables.

[@ale8oneboy]

Jumpers are actually little black plastic/metal sleeves that go over a set of pins to bridge them. The pin sets are on the back of the drive itself. The jumpers bridge the pins. Most drives have a single jumper that you move between pin sets to change the setting. Some drives have patterns of pins. Depending on the pattern determines the setting.

[@Shytzedaka]

what if No pins are connected?

[@ale8oneboy]

Depending on the drive manufacture. I've seen cases where if the jumper is missing the drive will default to either Master or Cable Select (CS).

[@gabrielrogers7436]

Q: What was happening? (Time Stamp: 23:36) A: Windows 2 BSoD

[@shadowtheimpure]

I call this video: "On the importance of jumpers"

No, from his weed stash.

Tell me about it, I've been spoiled by SATA and automatic cable selection stuff.

[@yjk_music]

12:10 You said that FDISK only saw 500 Mbytes(11:35), but on partition list, It says 1938 Mbytes, which is close to 2 Gbytes. While it says 504Mbytes at bottom, I don't think it's really a big deal, or maybe I am wrong.

[@Bendan]

Fun fact: in the Druaga1 videos I've seen, about a quarter of the problems were caused by user error.

[@MultiGab2000]

Nooo, why did u cut out the Hirens Boot Disk part.... it would have made my day even better xD

[@PiggyPorkchop]

i hated installing ms dos 6.10 in virtrul box with inserting diffrent disks

[@RogerBarraud]

03:12 YES BUT YOU WANTED TO FORMAT IT ANYWAY - so why not Ctrl-Alt-Del to floppy boot and stop screwing around? :-(

[@doctorsex8211]

The problem with Windows 2 and why it was not running was because if you pause before the start up screen on Windows 2 goes away it says "Incorrect DOS version" and he needs DOS 4 and not DOS 6 because Windows 2 knows it's DOS but can't recognise the version as DOS 6 was made to work with some 9X systems but not 1X or 2X systems as DOS 6 was made after the 1X and 2X systems were out and was never designed to work with 1X and 2X but was made to work with 3X and 9X systems and nearly forget about Windows 2000 DOS 6 was made to work with it I believe. Just trying to help out.

I think that was a BSOD when you started Windows
